Logo for Out of the Hot Seat - Series 4 - Gordon Smith

Ex-Rangers man Gordon Smith talks Scottish football and life out of the SFA top job. He may have entered the job with high hopes but the booze-gate scandal, sectarianism and Scotland's failure to qualify all made for a bumpy ride - especially in the media. So why did Smith take the job? Did the pressure finally get to him or were there other reasons behind his decision to quit? How much was the Rangers label a hindrance to his ever being accepted by the fans at large and what kind of legacy does he think he's left? John McGurk talks to Smith in detail about life in one of the hottest seats in Scottish sport.
