Zenit St Petersburg beat Rangers 2-0 in the UEFA Cup final at the City of Manchester Stadium. Denisov (72) and Konstatin Zyryanov (90) secured Zenit’s first European trophy.

Hull City will face Bristol City in the Championship play-off final at Wembley on May 24. The Tigers beat Watford 4-1 at the KC Stadium in the second leg of their play-off semi-final to progress 6-1 on aggregate.

Queen Park Rangers have appointed Iain Dowie as their new first-team coach. The 43-year-old has signed a two-year contract.

The Football Association has dropped one of two charges it brought against six players’ agents in connection to alleged breaches of rules at Luton Town. The charge dropped against Sky Andrew, Stephen Denos, Mike Berry, Mark Curtis, David Manasseh and Andrew Mills is the allegation the licensed agents failed to ensure that payments to them were “made and disclosed through the proper channels”. All six agents denied the charge. Luton still face 17 charges.

Henrik Larsson has been included in  the Sweden squad for Euro 2008.  Larsson previously retired from the national team in 2002 and then in 2006.
