Rangers boss Walter Smith was pleased with his side's battling display as they held on to win 1-0 at rock-bottom Dunfermline on Sunday.

Just two weeks earlier the Gers had lost 3-2 to the Pars in the Scottish Cup when Paul Le Guen was still in charge at Ibrox, but clinched their third successive SPL win thanks to Charlie Adam's early goal.

"I was happy with a lot of the aspects of our play," said the former Scotland boss.

"Previously we may have lost a goal or two from the number of crosses that were played in.

"I'm obviously not too happy with the number of crosses that came in but I'm happy with the way we handled it.

"Credit to Dunfermline, they pushed us back. But I'm pleased that we have shown we can handle pressure."
