Le Guen 'relieved' after victory

Le Guen praised his side's movement during the Molde game

Rangers manager Paul Le Guen said he was "relieved" to have guided his side to the group stage of the Uefa Cup.

The 2-0 win over Molde at Ibrox gave Le Guen his first European victory at the club and the Frenchman said he was pleased with his team's performance.

"I am relieved. It was important to qualify and it is fine even though we conceded too many chances," he said.

"I am happy because we played well and there was some good movement. We must carry on working hard."

Rangers will find out next Tuesday who they will face in the group stages of the Uefa Cup and Le Guen believes those games can help his side improve further.

I am very pleased with Allan and I want each player to be able to complete for a place in the team Rangers manager Paul Le Guen

"It's very important to have four games in Europe because we have a squad for that," he said.

"The game tonight showed that it is important to play together and improve and get a better relationship."

Le Guen refused to be drawn on whether man-of-the-match Alan McGregor would retain his goalkeeping place when Lionel Letizi returns from injury.

"I am very pleased with Allan and I want each player to be able to compete for a place in the team," the Ibrox boss said.

"I hope that Lionel will be fit as early as possible. But it's too early to speak of anything else. We must take it step by step.

"It's my job to decide. I love the fans and I respect the crowd but it is up to me to make the team selection."
