Smith poised for Ibrox departure
Smith, 24, has been offered a year's extension by the club but a lack of first-team football has all but convinced him to end his eight-year stay at Ibrox.[LNB]Smith, who has started the last two matches in the absence of first-choice left-back Sasa Papac, told the Daily Record: "The club have offered me a year's extension but Walter Smith knows what my answer will be and it has nothing to do with money.[LNB]"It's because I want to play. In an ideal world, I want to stay at Rangers but playing nine or 10 games a season won't help my career.[LNB]"I wasn't disappointed with the offer. In fact, I was surprised they offered me anything at all.[LNB]"It will be difficult to move on. But I need to be playing every week.[LNB]"There's a temptation to stay for another year. Will I end up anywhere like this, where I'm playing at Hampden and going for titles? That's the stuff that makes you want to stay.[LNB]"But it looks like I'll be moving and the treble will be the perfect way to end it."[LNB][LNB][LNB] Scottish Premier Winner 2009/10 Win Outright: Rangers 1/5
