The Krestovsky Stadium Is an ultra modern venue with a capacity of just above 68,000. It is a grass surface and has a retractable roof. In 19 games in the league this year, Zenit have played 19, won 10, drawn 6 and lost 3.
Stadium looks cool, if a little intimidating. Zenit’s average crowd, is the highest in Russia at 44,578.
Tough draw, but I am glad we did not get Arsenal. True the shutdown might have an effect on Zenit’s preparations , but it gives them plenty of time to watch us. Now we know what is in store, it is up to the Board to provide funds for the midfielders, center back and others required to move us up a level.

I think you could also add that maybe we haven`t taken our many chances as well as we did last year. I believe that there is an understandable tendency to form opinion based on results eg 5-1 victory = Celtic were very good; 1-1 draw =Celtic were not very good.
If the same number of chances was created in each game and we tucked away five in one and only one in the other, I would argue that our performances were both very good and finishing was the only difference.
I realise, of course, that goals are the only factor in determining the result of a game but an analysis of performance should see them as only a part of the overall performance. I think we are performing at least as well this season as we did last year.

Did Zenit drop out of CL or qualify through EL?
Our Europa opponents

So Zenit it is then Bhoys. Very tough draw. The Russians were top scorers in the group stages so they’ll be by no means a pushover.
Plenty of football to be played by then and hopefully a couple of new players will be also bought by then.

Hello this is WEE BGFC. Zenit
On 1 June 2017 Zenit appointed Roberto Mancini as the new manager of the team

BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS

ZENIT game tonight then nothing until 4th March(on website)
Hopefully in winter shutdown
SURE Sooth Siders will arrange glamour friendly with them
According to the BBC fixture list the Russian league shuts down tonight until the 4th March 2018.
Do they have a plastic pitch ??
Hope that my fanatical older grandson of mine takes a raincheck on this one.
Zenit’s new stadium looks a brammer, and it looks like grass..
