Smith urges SPL Focus

Rangers boss Walter Smith has urged his side to forget their disappointing defeat to Zenit St Petersburg in the UEFA Cup and focus on winning the Scottish Premier League instead.

He said: "It's easy to talk about getting over disappointment. The players now have a test of their character to pass - and it's as big a test as they've ever known.

"They're the ones who have to handle it and the equation is simple. Win three games away from home and they win the title.

"We have to show we have the nerve to finish off an extraordinary season because nerves come when you're within touching distance of a major trophy."
