Smith had a relatively modest playing career, consisting of two spells with Dundee United which was split by a short time at Dumbarton.

A pelvic injury meant he moved in to coaching at Dundee United under Jim McLean and he also took charge of Scotland's under-18 and under-21 teams.

He presided over a revival in the national team's fortunes, taking Scotland seventy places up the FIFA World Rankings, before returning to Rangers in 2007. He won eight of his trophies with the club during this time, before leaving in 2011.

Francis "Frank" McAvennie (born 22 November 1959 in Glasgow) is a former Scottish football striker best known as a player with West Ham United and Celtic, having had two spells with both of these clubs.

McAvennie grew up in Milton and attended St. Ambrose Primary and St. Augustine's Secondary.

McAvennie started his playing career in Scottish Junior League football. He did not move into professional football until he joined St Mirren in 1980, at the age of 20. He would make 135 league appearances for them over the next five years, scoring 48 goals.

Before turning professional, he had joined the Territorial Army and later had trials with the British Army but was not accepted for a role with them due to his inability to hit the target during shooting practices. He also had a spell working as a road sweeper.

His strong form in Scotland attracted attention from south of the border, and John Lyall signed him for West Ham United in June 1985 for £340,000 and he formed a formidable partnership with young English striker Tony Cottee. He was originally signed as an attacking midfielder, but was played as an out-and-out striker after an injury to Paul Goddard in the opening game of the season.
