LONDON, March 14: Rangers and Sporting completed the UEFA Cup quarterfinal line up, the Scottish team knocking out Werder Bremen while the Lisbon side ended the run of Bolton.
Werder, bidding to become the third German side into the last eight after Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen qualified on Wednesday, could only win 1-0 at the Weserstadion and went out 2-1 on aggregate.
Sporting, beaten finalists in 2005, edged a weakened Bolton side 1-0 at home to secure the tie 2-1. Bundesliga title challengers Werder forced 18 corners against Rangers, peppered their opponents’s goal from all angles but found keeper Allan McGregor in inspired form. Defeat capped a miserable few days for Werder, who were thumped 6-3 by VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga on Saturday
