WALTER SMITH is focusing on a big week for Rangers as he aims to guide his side through two tricky matches.

The Ibrox boss as led his side to ten point lead in the SPL but refuses to get carried away with the situation in which the Gers find themselves.

After more than a month of speculation over his players Smith is happy to see the end of the transfer window and the return of attention to matters on the field.

After two tricky cup ties his side now return to league duty with a run of difficult matches kicking off at Fir Park tomorrow night.

He said: "It all finishes now and we get on with the football so that's what we have to do now because we have important games.

"We face two this week with a Motherwell team who have been doing very well recently and a Hibs team that has been doing exceptionally well throughout the season.

"Motherwell are probably the form team in the country at the moment and Hibs are in a situation where if they keep winning they have a game in hand that can take them in to second place.

"That's testimony to the way they've been playing all season so they are two games against two teams that are doing exceptionally well at the moment."

With such tough tests to come Smith is happy to be able to call on almost a full squad with only one injury concern for this midweek fixture.

He said: "Tomorrow night we really only have DaMarcus Beasley missing and I would hope that he will be ready round about the weekend.

"If he can get himself up and running that will be that last of our injured players and while we wouldn't expect to go the rest of the season without any injuries, hopefully it won't be as bad as it has been for virtually the whole of January."

As Smith hopes to avoid further injury issues it will be a concern that he takes his side to play on one of the poorest surfaces in the top flight tomorrow night.

However he insists his side will adapt their game to a pitch that has been the subject of some criticism in the last few weeks.

Smith said: "I've only seen it on TV and it doesn't look too good. They've had a problem with their pitch for the last few years so it will be tough to go and play there.

"But it's the same for both sides and I don't think it will be easy for a Motherwell side to play there either although they've obviously gained a bit of experience on it.

"That's maybe a slight advantage for them but from our own point of view we'll go there and if we have to change we'll do that."
