Gers stay on course for quadruple

RANGERS kept their European and quadruple dreams alive after another Ibrox shutout put them within sight of the UEFA Cup final.

Fiorentina became the seventh club in European competition this season to fail to find the back of the net at Ibrox as the first leg of the semi-final ended goalless in Glasgow last night.

And with Barry Ferguson and Kevin Thomson returning from suspension for the return leg next week, Walter Smith’s men will be hopeful of progressing to a meeting with Bayern Munich or Zenit St Petersburg in next month’s final in Manchester.
