Ljungberg talk just Swede nothings for Smith

Rangers manager Walter Smith claims he has no fears about Celtic recruiting Freddie Ljungberg ahead of this weekend's Old Firm derby. The former Arsenal star, 33, is training with the Parkhead club this week with a view to a earning a deal. Hoops boss Neil Lennon has been keen to temper expectations about the Swedish star taking part in Sunday's clash at Ibrox. But, even if he does make his debut in the highly-anticipated new year showdown, Smith insists the Celtic team as a whole, rather than individuals, will pose the biggest threat. He said: "The games worry you, that's the thing, that's the aspect we would be looking at more than anything else. "I don't think either club can look at a situation where, if they sign a particular player, that's a problem. "He's a good player, there is no doubt about that. But my concern would be about Celtic's team overall as much as any individual."
