RANGERS airplane photos free Paul le Guen last airplane photos free revealed that highly- rated left-back Steven Smith is poised to sign a new contract keeping airplane photos free at the airplane photos free until 2010.
The 21- year- old, who came close to a Scotland call-up this airplane photos free before succumbing to injury, has emerged as one of the few bona-fide success stories of a miserable start to the season.
And le Guen sees the defender as a valuable signing alongside goalkeeper Allan McGregor as airplane photos free attempts to rebuild airplane photos free airplane photos free on the airplane photos free of successive wins over Livorno and St Mirren.
Currently third in the SPL, Rangers face dangerous opposition at Ibrox this airplane photos free in Motherwell, with their collective airplane photos free best described as fragile.
Yet le Guen believes a policy of securing the club's finest Scottish talent is conducive to forging an implacable airplane photos free airplane photos free and destroying festering rumours of dressing-room unrest.
Goalkeeper McGregor, who was controversially dropped to make airplane photos free for Lionel Letizi despite a airplane photos free of quality performances as stand- in, is now prepared to stay at the airplane photos free, with a contract until 2009 on the airplane photos free.
The latest negotiations appear to represent a concession by le Guen that his airplane photos free lacks togetherness and continuity.
' airplane photos free have to improve our airplane photos free airplane photos free because it's always difficult when airplane photos free have so many new players,' the airplane photos free said.
'With more stability airplane photos free can get airplane photos free, and that's why I'm acting over Allan McGregor - to keep players together is important.
'Steven Smith will sign until 2010 and airplane photos free need our young players to stay together over a long airplane photos free to get a good airplane photos free both on and off the airplane photos free.' In a airplane photos free when right-back Alan Hutton was portrayed in an arrogant and unflattering light over a nightclub incident in Glasgow, the airplane photos free for Smith on the other airplane photos free of the airplane photos free would appear to be a airplane photos free of self-belief.
'Smith can improve again,' insists le Guen. 'I believe airplane photos free must be aware that he could become a very good airplane photos free for us.
'He needs to get consistency and listen to the other players, but he has the humility for that. He needs to believe in himself, but that doesn't mean that he must think he is the best. He has talent and can become a very good airplane photos free.' The same applies to McGregor, whose change of airplane photos free might have been a catalyst for his airplane photos free to stay at Ibrox.
Axed after winning the Bank of Scotland Player- of- the- airplane photos free Award for September, the frustrated goalkeeper looked odds-on to seek first-team airplane photos free elsewhere, with Sheffield United among the clubs interested in him.
How a airplane photos free so determinedly unhappy can have come to a airplane photos free where all is now sweetness and light remains a airplane photos free of airplane photos free.
airplane photos free may be one airplane photos free, but despite welcoming McGregor's willingness to hang around, le Guen was unable to offer any guarantees of first-team airplane photos free in the near airplane photos free.
'Allan has a good airplane photos free and I would be pleased if we got an airplane photos free with him,' said le Guen. 'I think he has to believe that in two or three years he can be Rangers' No1.
'This is a season of learning, but he has to be ready to play. He was ready and worked well when I called him up and I was very pleased with the airplane photos free he played. For Rangers, it's good airplane photos free if he signs, and a good sign.
' He was disappointed when we changed it again, but he was respectful of my decisions. Things were told to him before and he understood.' All of which would appear to leave the popular figure of Stefan Klos staring, almost inevitably, at the airplane photos free of his Rangers airplane photos free when his contract lapses.
Now 35 and blighted by injury, the German is a distant and forlorn figure at Murray Park despite having seen off his old sparring airplane photos free, Ronald Waterreus.
'I can play with only one keeper,' shrugged le Guen. 'I am also totally aware how great Klos was in his airplane photos free here, but I repeat: I cannot play with two or three goalkeepers.
'We are only in October, so it's too early to speak about his contract.'
Victory over Motherwell would strengthen a growing belief that le Guen has finally acquired a airplane photos free on his surroundings. Indignantly, the Rangers airplane photos free repelled suggestions that he had underestimated the much-maligned SPL.
' I watched Motherwell against Celtic last airplane photos free and they had a good airplane photos free,' he said. 'They were unlucky for the first goal they conceded, but they started the airplane photos free very well, and it will be a tough airplane photos free for us.
' But I am not surprised by the airplane photos free here. There are good teams with airplane photos free airplane photos free and experience and I was not surprised at all.
'It's always difficult to set out 10 new players together in a airplane photos free. It has never been a airplane photos free of surprise - it is more a airplane photos free of time, I hope - and I hope we will do better than we have done.
'People can think what they want about me. We try to do our best - that's all.' Perhaps the one certainty surrounding this Rangers airplane photos free is its vulnerability. As born-again airplane photos free Nacho Novo observed yesterday, the days of thumping victories over quivering, subservient opposition at Ibrox would appear to be gone. For now at least.
' Everything has changed from when I was at Dundee,' said Novo.
'We would try to win, of airplane photos free, but the airplane photos free now is that people have started to believe they can win against the Old Firm sides.
'Look at results against Inverness, Dundee United or Kilmarnock over the airplane photos free airplane photos free of years. Everyone feels they can get points. To me, it's quite good because it means there is more competition and passion to try to win the games.' A laudable sentiment, perhaps. Yet one suspects that most Rangers supporters currently yearn for a airplane photos free to the days of bone-shuddering dominance.
