Rangers manager Walter Smith is not surprised by how difficult Red Star made it for his side in the Champions League.

"I thought it would be a difficult game, but we worked extremely hard for the win," said the Rangers manager following the 1-0 victory.

"We were playing a team with a good pedigree and have some good players.

"They were a difficult team to break down and in these games you have to be patient and we did that."

Nacho Novo's late goal gave Rangers a narrow lead to take to Serbia in two week's time.

But Smith stressed: "If you look at the games all over Europe this evening, they were all extremely tight and ours was probably the best result because we didn't lose a goal.
