Rangers boss Walter Smith has quickly moved to encourage his side back into a more motivated state in order to help them emerge as the victors of the Scottish Cup against Queen of the South at the weekend. Rangers lost out on the SPL title last night.

  • Chelsea ready to sell four home-grown players
  • Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Aston Villa, Palmer starts

  • Smith said: "They've had no games over almost a month since they finished, so they could have played a few of ours maybe and alleviated a bit of the problem!



    "I think Gordon will be sitting there thinking that Rangers have played a lot of matches.



    "If you're going to get to a cup final you couldn't wish for better circumstances, playing a team who played less than 48 hours beforehand.



    "That might be a boost for them, but we have to overcome that as we've tried to do in all the games we've played.



    "We've had a couple of disappointments in the last 10 days and you don't want to finish on that.



    "This gives us the opportunity to maybe finish on a high note after the lows of the past 10 days.



    "It's the Scottish Cup final, it's a big game. There'll have to be something left there if we're going to do well in it."
