Lafferty set for Euro role

RangersKyle Lafferty could start for Rangers in their UEFA Champions League qualifier against Kaunas after he impressed boss Walter Smith.

Lafferty was handed a role wide on the left against Raith Rovers at the weekend and after putting in a good display in the 2-1 win, Smith is ready to throw him in against Kaunas.

"Kyle has a chance of playing on Wednesday," said Smith. "He has had an awkward build-up so far after getting a week's training then hurting his back.

"When we were in Holland and Germany for training, he didn't do any training at all but he is up and running again now. He showed a little bit of promise on Saturday and we are hopeful that will stand him in good stead."
