Lisbon hold Rangers to draw
Rangers have drawn a blank against Sporting Lisbon in their Uefa Cup clash at Ibrox.
The Portuguese visitors cancelled out the 'Gers to produce a goalless quarter-final first leg.
Rangers captain Barry Ferguson failed to convert a string of chances, forcing a fine first-half save from Lisbon keeper Rui Patricio and heading inches wide.
The Glasgow giants are now due to travel to Lisbon next Thursday, and hope to seal a meeting with Fiorentina or PSV Eindhoven in the semi-finals.
The Scottish Premier League leaders are still in with a chance of winning four trophies this season.
Fans looking for lucky omens have taken heart from the fact that the only other meeting between Rangers and Sporting came before the Ibrox side won the European Cup Winners Cup in 1972.
