Smith keeps fans guessing over future

10 May 2010 12:38

Walter Smith will keep fans guessing a while longer after refusing to confirm whether he has taken charge of his last game for Rangers.

The veteran boss watched his players finally get their hands on the Clydesdale Bank Premier League trophy after battling out a 3-3 draw with Motherwell at Ibrox but with ongoing financial uncertainty, there are still questions Smith is seeking answers to before making a decision on his own future.

"We will do our sit-down and we will all have a think about what we are going to do but we will enjoy our holiday and then see where we go from there," he said.

"We've just won the championship and everyone has been fascinated by what's going to happen at Rangers but we are no further forward.

"We will try to enjoy the celebrations and that's as far as we are at the moment."

Asked if he would find it difficult to give up life at Rangers after yet another successful campaign, Smith said: "I've been lucky, I've had a lot of occasions like this.

"I've enjoyed every minute and I've enjoyed winning this championship as much as I've enjoyed any I've had before."

It was also an emotional occasion for several players - Kris Boyd, David Weir, Kirk Broadfoot, DaMarcus Beasley, Nacho Novo and Steven Smith - who are out of contract and who may have played their last game for Rangers.

Smith said: "We've got a situation where we have six out of contract and we haven't agreed a contract with any.

"Sometimes it's not always the club's choice, sometimes it's the player's choice so we will just have to wait and see what happens. We will enjoy the presentation of the trophy and look back on what has been a successful season for us."
