Weir relishing Euro test
29 Aug 2007 - 10:36:21
Rangers defender David Weir admitted he was relishing the prospect of playing Champions League football for the first time in his career at the ripe old age of 37.
Weir, who had failed to qualify for the group stages while at previous club Everton, was at the heart of the defence that secured a goalless second leg qualifying draw against Crvena Zvezda to set up a 1-0 aggregate victory.
"It's not really sunk in yet to be honest," said the veteran defender.
"We just tried to get through the tie and now we've got through it we can start thinking about that.
"We stood together as a team. We worked hard for each other and we came through as winners.
"It's the top level. It's what every player wants to play in. I've never done it before so it's great for me personally, but it's great for Glasgow Rangers.
"Glasgow Rangers as a club should be in the Champions League year in, year out and hopefully that's the start of it."
