Overview Rangers played a total of 68 competitive matches during the 2007–08 season. It was Walter Smith's first full season at the club since 1997–98. The early season priority was qualification for the group stages of the Champions League and this was secured with hard-fought victories over FK Zeta and Red Star Belgrade. Rangers were drawn in Group E with Barcelona, Lyon and Stuttgart. The group stage started well, with the first two matches resulting in victories, over Stuttgart and Lyon. A home draw with Barcelona left Rangers with seven points after three games, but the last three matches all resulted in defeat, meaning Rangers finished third in the group and entered the UEFA Cup. However, the European adventure continued for Rangers as they progressed to the semi-finals of the competition by beating Panathinaikos, Werder Bremen and Sporting Lisbon. They then reached the final with a penalty shootout victory against Fiorentina. They played Zenit Saint Petersburg, managed by formed Gers boss Dick Advocaat, in Manchester on 14 May. Rangers lost the match 2–0, with over 200,000 fans in the city to see the game. When asked if the SFA should have extended the season to benefit Rangers, Ally McCoist said: "They were a disgrace. It was embarrassing. I think the Russian federation cancelled Zenit's three or four games previously. I think we played something like eight games in eighteen days. It might just sound like sour grapes, but no: any other country in the planet, the association would have helped the team. If you're asking me if it was wrong, it was completely and utterly wrong.""Si Ferry Meets...

The first was to support the national team's bid to qualify for Euro 2008,Rangers back McLeish 23 October 2007 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2007/oct/23/newsstory.sport5 another was to aid Rangers European campaign,SPL moves Gretna game to aid Gers 3 December 2007 https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/7122365.stm and the third an agreement to cancel an Old Firm derby following the sudden death of former Celtic player Phil O'Donnell.Old Firm match postponed by SPL 30 December 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/7165976.stm However, Celtic played on without postponement after coach and club legend Tommy Burns passed away toward the end of the campaign.Tommy Burns dies aged 51 15 May 2008 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2008/may/15/celtic.scottishpremierleague On the domestic front, the race for the Scottish Premier League continued until the final matchday of the season. Both Celtic and Rangers were tied on 86 points going into their games (against Dundee United and Aberdeen respectively) on 22 May 2008, but Celtic were top of the table due to having a +57 goal differential, six ahead of Rangers. This did not prove to be decisive, as Celtic beat Dundee United 1–0 while Rangers surrendered their hopes of landing the championship with a 2–0 defeat away to the Dons. The club had had a ten-point lead in late March, although their nearest rivals, Celtic, had games in hand at the time. However having to play four competitive matches (including a UEFA Cup Final) in the last eight days of the season proved just too much of a problem for Rangers to overcome. The club appeared in its first final since 2005. They played Dundee United on 16 March 2008 and won the League Cup on penalties. The match was tied 2-2 after extra time, with both goals coming from Kris Boyd who also scored the winning spot kick.Dundee Utd 2-2 Rangers BBC Sport 16 March 2008 https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/scot_cups/7296157.stm Thomas McGuigan They also reached the final of the Scottish Cup for the 49th time. They beat St Johnstone 4–3 on penalties in the semi-final after the score was tied at 1-1 after extra time.
