- Negative Gers upset Prandelli
Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli has hit out at Rangers' negative tactics following their UEFA Cup semi-final defeat to the Scottish side.
The Italians dominated their goalless second leg meeting at the Artemio Franchi but lost in a penalty shoot-out despite creating 24 scoring chances to Rangers' paltry three.
"This great adventure is over and we have to accept the result, even if we surely deserved more," lamented Prandelli.
"We gave everything we had trying to score until the last minute of extra-time.
"Football is like this and today a team who focus on defending from the first to the last minute were rewarded.
"I'm sure we deserved to reach the final. Rangers came here just to stop us playing our best football and got the result they wanted.
"I have nothing to say to my players. The game would have been more entertaining if we were facing a team ready to play a bit more."
