Smith hails Gers' spirit

Rangers boss Walter Smith was delighted with his side's fighting spirit as they came from behind three times before taking a point away from Easter Road after a 3-3 draw with Hibernian.
It means that the Gers will have to wait at least another week before clinching a Champions League place, but Smith was pleased to be returning to Glasgow with a point.
"It's always a difficult game for Rangers when they come to Easter Road and it was no different again," he told the club's official website.
"Having been behind three times it's pleasing that we managed to secure a point and I feel there was a good deal of commitment shown by both sides.
"We huffed and puffed for a lot of the game and probably had our best spell in the last 20 minutes.
"However, I have to praise the spirit of the players for coming back the way they did."
