Rangers boss Smith happy Sunday will be last Old Firm date

Rangers boss Walter Smith is happy to be going into his final Old Firm clash with Celtic. The veteran boss - who has been warned by police over his own security - has expressed his despair at the news that Celtic boss Neil Lennon was sent two viable parcel bombs, while other high-profile supporters of the club were also targeted.

Smith, who will quit the Ibrox hotseat at the end of the season, said: "After the happenings of the last week, I'll be delighted it's my last one.

"That, more than anything else, is the feeling I've got going into it."

But the 63-year-old is still determined to go out on a high, adding: "It's my last Old Firm game and it's one I hope we can go on and win.

"I just look forward to it, whether it's my first or my last. It doesn't really matter. It's the result that is going to matter more than anything."
