Rangers star plays down treble talk

STEVEN Whittaker has played down talk of a domestic treble and insists Rangers must guard against complacency instead.

The full-back helped the Ibrox side take a major step towards claiming the first silverware of the season as they beat St Johnstone to secure a place in the Co-operative Insurance Cup final.

The 2-0 win at Hampden – thanks to goals from Steven Davis and Lee McCulloch – means Rangers will now be installed as the bookies’ favourites to win the trophy when they face St Mirren next month.

Whittaker believes it is too early to make any bold predictions about just how successful this season could be for the Scottish champions. “We can’t get carried away with ourselves,” he said, as Rangers now prepare to face St Mirren in the Active Nation Scottish Cup this weekend.”
