Semis kick off in Glasgow and Munich

Rangers FC and ACF Fiorentina will re-enact a European final while FC Zenit St. Petersburg gun for favourites FC Bayern München in the UEFA Cup semi-finals.

Famous final
Rangers and Fiorentina met back in 1960/61, in the two-legged final of the first UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, but it will be a tie that few at Ibrox would care to remember. The Scottish giants lost 2-0 at home against their Italian rivals, and were beaten again in the second leg, 2-1. Walter Smith's side can now avenge that defeat as the Fiorentina class of 2008 make the trip to Glasgow.

Similar sides
Former Rangers and Fiorentina player Lorenzo Amoruso said: "Fiorentina have the quality of Adrian Mutu but their main strength is the collective game. Rangers have good players like Barry Ferguson and Kris Boyd, but above all, it is the unity that works well for them and gives them the edge. I don't know who will progress, but I do know I am going to watch a fantastic couple of games."

Zenit hopeful
Zenit are the only team in the last four never to have won a major European title but that will not deter them as they visit Bayern for the first leg. Impressive winners at Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the quarter-finals when they defeated their hosts 4-1, Dick Advocaat's men have no reason to fear a trip to Germany. If Zenit can ensure the tie is still in the balance after the first leg, Ottmar Hitzfeld's side will have plenty to do in Russia as the semi-finals conclude on 1 May.
