Smith backs Gers to come good

WALTER SMITH is confident Rangers can secure the win they need in Kaunas and book a place in the final qualifying round of the Champions League despite last night’s goalless stalemate at Ibrox.

But he warned against taking success in next week’s second leg in Lithuania for granted based purely on their epic European run last season.

Panathinaikos, Sporting Lisbon and Fiorentina all earned goalless draws in Glasgow only to be disposed of at home as Rangers progressed to the UEFA Cup final.
