Reims coach Hubert Fournier has said that his side can aim for more than just beating the drop as they prepare to face AS Monaco in Ligue 1 tonight.

Reims killed off any threat of relegation this season with a 1-0 win over Bordeaux last weekend, with Fournier now stating that his team can play with a little more space for the rest of the campaign.

"Our situation in the table means we can work in a bit of peace," said Fournier, according to Ligue1.com

"We still have worries but they are different worries now. We can aim for a more ambitious objective rather than simply beating the drop, which was our target at the start of the season."

Reims currently find themselves in seventh place in the Ligue 1 table.
