Alexander wants Gers focus

Neil Alexander has warned his Rangers team-mates their double dream could be left in tatters if they do not put their Clydesdale Bank Premier League title celebrations on hold.

The Ibrox club's players have been walking on air since ending Celtic's three-year reign as Scottish champions on Sunday. But the season is not over for Walter Smith's men, who can complete their first domestic double since 2003 when they take on Falkirk in Saturday's Homecoming Scottish Cup final.

The Bairns are also on a high after saving their SPL skins on the final weekend of the league campaign, and goalkeeper Alexander knows Rangers must prepare properly if they are to hold onto the trophy they won last year.

Alexander told Rangers News: "We enjoyed our title success because it was a fantastic feeling to have finally won the league for the first time in a few years.

"But we are back in training now and preparing for the Scottish Cup final. In many ways, it's the same as last season - you've got to put any success to the back of your mind and just focus on the next challenge.

"So our focus is now on Falkirk. During the summer, you can look back and you can celebrate, but right now we have another massive game on our hands and we are just working as hard as possible to make sure we are ready for the game."
