About Steven Smith (footballer, born 1985)

Steven Smith (born 30 August 1985) is a Scottish former footballer who was most recently the interim manager of Scottish Premiership club Rangers. A left-back, Smith made an early breakthrough with Scottish side Rangers, and was capped by Scotland B in 2006, aged 21.
