No retirement rethink for Gers boss Smith

RANGERS manager Walter Smith insists he has no intention of following in the footsteps of Alex Ferguson by having a change of heart over retiring at the end of the season.

The 62-year-old revealed in the summer this would be his final year in football, before making way for his assistant Ally McCoist to replace him in the Ibrox hot-seat.

However, speaking ahead of Rangers’ Champions League clash with Manchester United tonight, Ferguson urged his close friend and former colleague to have a rethink, claiming he still has too much to offer the game.
