Whyte should give book proceeds to charity, says Gordon Smith
The former Rangers owner, who led them into administration, has released his autobiography
Eight years to the day since former Rangers owner Craig Whyte led the club into administration, he's released an autobiography detailing his version of events.
The 49-year old has written 'Into the Bear Pit' where he takes aim at several former Ibrox figureheads such as David Murray and Charles Green.
The Motherwell-born businessman also describes former directors at the club as “pompous buffoons”.
Whyte, who bought the club for £1 back in 2011, was found not guilty of all charges relating to his takeover of the club after a trial in the High Court three years ago.
Many have taken a cynical view of his release, claiming Whyte is cashing in on the demise of Rangers.
Gordon Smith worked as the director of football under Whyte for a brief spell in 2012, and says he should make a move to prove people wrong.
Smith said: "I can understand why people might be annoyed that he's earning money from it.
"The other side of it will be the interest in what he's got to say. How he can justify the things that happened and how he felt he was running the club for the betterment of them.
"There is two sides of it but it would be nice if he could turn round and say he's giving the proceeds to charity".
Whyte was heavily criticised for many of the decisions he made in his time in charge at the club, with Smith saying it was clear to see he knew nothing about the sport.
He said: "He seemed quite a quiet guy but definitely not a football person.
"He never discussed tactics or team selections. He didn't seem as if he was a football person at all.
"Most of the time he talked about finances. About trying the wage bill down, what money was available for transfers and could we sell any players".
