Weir: Every game a priority for Rangers

06 December 2010 08:30
Rangers skipper Davie Weir dismissed the notion that Tuesday's Champions League clash with Bursaspor is meaningless and claimed it would be a "disaster" if things go wrong. The Ibrox club travelled to Turkey yesterday knowing they have no chance of qualifying for the knockout stages of the tournament but also safe in the knowledge that their place in the Europa League is secure. While three points would improve Scotland's co-efficient ranking in Europe, and guarantee Rangers a reported £750,000 in prize money, the fixture is seen by many as a dead rubber with perhaps next weekend's Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with Inverness more important However, Weir said: "This game is the priority. "The next game is always the priority for Rangers. You have to win the next game at Rangers. End of. "Anything else further down the line doesn't really matter because if you don't win this one you are in a bad situation because every game you lose or don't play well in is a disaster."
