Smith calm over Cup criticism
Rangers manager Walter Smith has shrugged off criticism from David Longmuir about his club's failure to attend the Co-operative Insurance Cup draw.
Scottish Football League chief executive Longmuir claimed the four clubs who were not represented for the Hampden quarter-final draw should be more "thoughtful" as the organisation attempts to persuade the Co-op to renew their deal.
Motherwell, Falkirk and Dundee United were also absent but Smith claimed it was difficult to meet such demands at short notice.
"I've got a wee bit more to worry about at the present moment," he said. "I think we have supported the league and sponsorship for any of our games."
"If we didn't do it the other day, there obviously must have been some kind of problem. You don't even know if you're going to be in it or not until the Tuesday evening.
"Then, players are off the next day and that kind of thing happens. It's a difficult scenario. But I don't think the league can complain about help they get from the clubs overall."
