Smith warns slack Gers

Rangers manager Walter Smith admitted his side had been some way short of their best in Sunday's 4-2 victory against rock-bottom Gretna.
The win maintained the Gers' four-point lead over Celtic at the top of the table, but Smith has warned of sterner tasks for his side in the remaining weeks of the campaign.
He said: "First and foremost we're delighted to have won the game but there's a bit of frustration that we could have been better in possession of the ball.
"We were a bit patchy and are frustrated in the manner we lost two goals. Our final pass could have been better and we could have created more.
"But if that's a bad day at the office and we win then I'll take it.
"Conceding goals like that this season is not something we've been guilty of so we'll put it down to a little bit of slackness.
"I think getting off to a great start by scoring took the edge off our game. We're a team who need to have an edge.
"I don't think tiredness is a problem - it's the mental approach that needs to be good. But we took our foot off the pedal a little bit."
