Rangers manager Walter Smith claims his players were more affected by Dundee's performance than the club's off-field problems as they booked their place in the semi-finals of the Co-operative Insurance Cup.
The cup clash was in danger of being over-shadowed by behind-the-scenes drama which has dominated the headlines - sparked by the manager's claims the bank was now controlling spending at Rangers.
That statement has since been refuted by the Lloyds Banking Group, while Rangers have moved to ease fears over the sale of star players in January and speculation continues to mount over a potential takeover of the club.
But Rangers brushed those issues aside to claim a 3-1 victory at Dens Park and, when asked if he wondered how his players would react, Smith said: "I don't think so, I don't think footballers are affected by that and they certainly didn't show that.
"They were more affected by the way Dundee played rather than anything else."
