Why has Gordon Smith been appointed "director of football" at Rangers?

Because he's a dirty orange bastard. Also, it tells you all you need to know that wee McCoist NEEDS a mentor, unlike Neil. Did Smith's education of the wee prick not suffice. He'll be on the dole within a year. Mark my words. Neil will put him to the sword just as he did to his mentor Watty last season. Olf Firm games don't lie.
