Le Guen targets Celtic

Manager Paul Le Guen is confident of success in Sunday's Old Firm meeting with Celtic after Rangers reached the last 32 of the UEFA Cup on Thursday evening.
Defender Alan Hutton secured a 1-0 victory over Partizan with his first goal of the season and afterwards the French manager turned his attention to closing the 16-point gap to their bitter rivals at Ibrox.
"I think we can be confident," said Le Guen. "But the recovery will be very important. I think we are better now but perhaps Celtic are better too.
"It was a great performance and great to finish first in the group.
"It is important to keep the momentum going and keep on winning - that is important for the young players in the team.
"We didn't concede but we lacked concentration near the end although we defended well.
"But we are delighted to be through and I have no preferences on who we get.
"All the players did well and I like having the problem of who will play in the next game."
