Smith pleased with Gers fightback

Rangers boss Walter Smith insists he took no extra satisfaction from finally winning at Aberdeen for the first time since he returned to Ibrox. The visitors were two behind to the Dons after half-an-hour of Sunday's SPL clash but fought back to win 3-2 and maintain their 100% start to the season thanks to Kenny Miller's double and Nikica Jelavic's winner.It was their first victory at Pittodrie since 2006 when Paul Le Guen was in charge - but Gers boss Smith was not overly concerned about getting the proverbial monkey off his back.He said: "You just want to win matches. Aberdeen seem to take great pleasure in saying that the only team they want to beat is Rangers."I'm not like that, I prefer my team to try to beat everybody we play."When you come to Pittodrie an innocuous foul for either team is treated like a crime against humanity. It is a very difficult situation for the referee to handle."What most pleased me was the character that the team showed to come back from going two goals behind."The win, though, came at a price for Rangers with Steven Davis set to miss the Champions League visit of Bursaspor to Ibrox after picking up a hamstring injury.Smith admitted it would be disappointing to face the Turkish side on Wednesday without the Northern Ireland midfielder.He added: "Steven Davis has a slight hamstring injury and going by past experience you would have to put him in the doubtful category."It would be a blow if we were to lose Steven as I feel he is just coming into our season now and today was the best he has played this season."Steven Naismith and Steven Whittaker both took knocks to the head but they should be okay."Aberdeen boss Mark McGhee was left cursing the defensive lapses from his team which saw them squander a two-goal lead over the champions.McGhee was particularly annoyed with Jerel Ifil's reckless challenge on Vladimir Weiss, four minutes after his side had gone two ahead, which gifted the visitors a penalty which was duly converted by Miller.He said: "I'm hugely disappointed with the end result. We conspired against ourselves for each of Rangers' goals."It is always a danger if you go to ground in the box against a player who is as quick as he is so that it will result in a penalty. It is naive and irresponsible. The defeat was as much down to our own doing as it was Rangers' good work."However, McGhee was sympathetic towards striker Chris Maguire, who saw red in the closing stages for a second booking.He added: "He worked really hard and he was tired when he made the challenge. He tried to chase back and win a tackle but it was a free-kick so the referee has the right to send him off. I thought it was harsh."
