Smith baffled by Royal message

30 April 2011 16:30
Walter Smith claimed he had no knowledge of his captain David Weir's tribute to the Royal Wedding as Rangers romped to a 5-0 win at Motherwell in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League. Weir took to the field in a jersey embroidered with the slogan 'Congratulations William & Catherine 29th April 2011.' The act is technically in breach of FIFA regulations, which prevent players from making religious, political or personal statements, and it is understood Weir was also unaware of the nod to Prince William and his new wife on his strip until kick-off. Smith said afterwards: "I didn't know it was there. Sorry, I can't enlighten you at all. It must have been the kit man."
