Smith Fergie's key man

AFP, Paris
Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson is looking to in-form striker Alan Smith to lead his depleted side into the lucrative group stage of the European Champions League against Dinamo Bucharest on Wednesday.
Smith, who was at the heart of United's 2-1 Premier League win over newly-promoted Norwich City at the weekend, was showing no sign of over confidence despite Manchester taking a 2-1 lead into the return home leg against the Romanian side.
"If there are doubters out there (about my ability), that is up to them, but as long as we keep winning, I don't care," said Smith, who scored the winning goal with a stunning volley against Norwich.
"Now it is vital we qualify for the Champions League on Wednesday."
Smith, who debuted with a goal in United's 3-1 loss to Arsenal in the preseason Community Shield, has hit form at a crucial time for Ferguson.
United's start to the season has been disrupted by injuries to strikers Ruud van Nistelrooy, Louis Saha and Ole Gunnar Sokskjaer, and the absence on Olympic duty of Argentinian defender Gabriel Heinze and Portugal winger Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Alan has done great for us," said Ferguson, who compared the ex-Leeds man to former United stalwart and Wales international Mark Hughes.
"He's a similar player in many ways to Mark Hughes. Mark could score goals like Alan did today, it was a Mark Hughes sort of goal."
There was some good news for Ferguson at the weekend, with the return of Ronaldo, who played in the final stages against Norwich after Portugal were knocked out of the Olympic tournament.
"It is a great week ahead of us. It is a big week, but they are big all the time now. In terms of numbers, we have Ronaldo back and hopefully his fitness is going to be okay, we will assess him better during the week," Ferguson said.
"At this moment we're stretched in terms of numbers but if we keep hanging in there and producing football like we are at the moment, we will be okay."
In other matches, Rangers take a crucial away goal into their return match at home to Moscow CSKA, after their 2-1 loss in the Russian capital two weeks ago.
Rangers had a comfortable 4-1 win over Hibernian in the Scottish Premier League at the weekend but coach Alex McLeish will be without influential midfielder Alex Rae, whose appeal against a five-match UEFA suspension was rejected on Monday.
Rae was charged with gross unsport-
ing conduct after the opening match against CSKA Moscow when his boot made contact with the grounded Serghei Dadu's head.
Other likely qualfiers are Real Madrid, who are at home to Polish side Wisla Krakow after an 2-0 away win. Bayer Keverkusen should also complete their qualification after a 5-0 home win against the Czech club Manik Ostrava, despite the loss of defender, Jens Nowotny, to a knee injury.
Juventus meanwhile will also be playing for pride when they face Djurgarden in Sweden following their shock 2-2 draw in Italy a fortnight ago.
