I have no real interest in this game, other than the fact it is the UEFA Cup final and is much preferable to watch than the dross my worse half normally subjects me to on a Wednesday evening, but listening to the "big match" build up on the radio this morning, plus reading up a little on the stats and facts of the two teams, I came across an interesting little bet via the SP website i often use.....

Bet on 0-0 scoreline at 90 minutes (7/1 generally)

with stake savers on :

first goal between 61-70 minutes (16/1)
first goal between 71 -80 minutes (18/1)
first goal between 81-90 minutes (22/1)

Essentially, all signs point to this game being a fairly dour struggle, with both teams liking to counter attack but their emphasis firmly on keeping the back door shut. Zenit's top goalscorer is out of the game, and their 4-0 drubbing of Bayern in the second leg of the semi was apparently because Bayern played right into their hands by attacking left, right n centre, and Zenit picked them off with their counter attacks.

Rangers are not high scorers, even domestically, and the theory is that as long as the game stays goalless for an hour, we collect. The savers are placed as the longer the game goes on more mistakes, tiredness comes into play, and a possible late set piece goal or counter attack goal could seal it one way or the other.

It *seems* a good, logical bet to me....with obvious value. Though ive refrained so far....thoughts???
