Rangel warns Swansea not to relax against Malmo

Swansea City fullback Angel Rangel says they must not take their Europa League qualification for granted tomorrow night against Malmo.

With the Swans 90 minutes away from confirming their place in Friday's draw for the Europa League play-off stage, defender Rangel says he knows Michael Laudrup's side - currently gearing up for that Premier League-opening visit of champions Manchester United on August 17 - need to pick up where they left off.

"I think it's great to go there 4-0 up," the Spanish right back told the South Wales Echo.

"It was important for them not to score at the Liberty and now we have to go there focused on getting the result.

"We have to play our own game because there are still 90 minutes to go.

"We have a great advantage but you can never take anything for granted in football. We need to score one goal because obviously it will be over then.

"That would be the killer.

"So it's important we keep it tight for as long as we can and if we do that I think we will get through.

"The way we play we will always create chances and if we score one I think that will be enough."
