Naismith - Plenty to play for
Steven Naismith insists Rangers' final Champions League clash of the season against Bursaspor is far from a meaningless encounter for the Scottish champions.
Walter Smith's men head into the final Group C game unable to progress to the last 16 of the competition, with the top two spots going to Manchester United and Valencia.
Regardless of the result in Turkey, Rangers know they have also secured a Europa League place after Christmas, with Bursaspor bottom of the section.
But, as far as Naismith is concerned, there are still plenty of reasons to return to Glasgow with a win from next Tuesday's game.
He said: "If you look at it, the cash we would get if we came out on top in Turkey could allow us to bring in another player in January if the manager was to get it. When you consider that, you could actually say it's a really big match for us and we know that.
"We work so hard throughout the season to get into the Champions League that I don't think you could say any games in the competition are meaningless. Regardless of whether we are out or not, we all want to be involved because it's a great feeling when you're on that pitch playing in such a big event. There's a lot to play for from the point of view a win would help our co-efficient and give us prize money."
