Smith eyes title

Sat 23 May, 10:12 AM


Rangers manager Walter Smith is surprised the destiny of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League title is in their own hands heading into the final day of the season.

The Ibrox side go into the weekend action two points clear of rivals Celtic and knowing a win at Dundee United would guarantee them the championship.

Defeat in December's Old Firm derby had seen Rangers fall seven points behind Celtic and Smith feared at that stage their hopes of being crowned champions were over.

As his side stand on the brink of ending Celtic's dominance of Scottish football, he confessed: "I was a bit surprised, after the Old Firm result at the end of December, that we managed to get into this position.

"Celtic have shown terrific consistency over the last few seasons so I felt it would be difficult for us to get back. But we have done and we are pleased we are now in the position that we're in.

"If you had said to us after the Old Firm game when we went seven points behind Celtic, would we be happy to be in this position, we would obviously have taken it."
