Not totally. But Rangers did cheat considerably less than the Russians at the end. So to say "football is the winner" is a bit daft. Its not as if Rangers didnt have a decent amount of possesion and have a few goes. They hardly played "anti-football" tonight.
The Russians were average but outclassed them in every department. The huns only embarassed themselves by playing with an 8 man defence and they were lucky to get 0.
At least when Celtic did it they came up against a geniune world class side and managed to score a couple of goals. The huns have only underscored their position as
second to Celtic by becoming the
second Scottish team to reach a final.
And as we all know events off the field are likely to overshadow their achievement.
