Rangers Odds Now 5/4 to Win the UEFA Cup
2008-05-02 08:40:00 I doubt that Europe has ever seen a team take a route to a major final such as Rangers . Somehow they’ve made it to the UEFA Cup final in Manchester, winning just 2 games (over 90 minutes) in their last 12 in Europe. In that period they’ve scored just 7 goals and conceded 10 yet ...

Chelsea v Liverpool: Champions League Betting Preview
2008-04-29 22:46:00 Sit down. Make yourself comfortable. It could be a long night. There’s never usually much to separate these two teams and I don’t think tomorrow’s game will be any different.
