It's been a while since we had a solid left back that wasn't tossed in from another position. Smith and Hartley certainly are other options, but they really are stop-gaps, rather than steps toward a reliable man for the position. I guess I haven't made my mind up about Smith yet, to be fair. He's been out of the Rangers squad for so long with injuries that he'll have to prove he has any sort of form.

I think he had potential. What about Mark Wilson? I know he's a right back but as far as I remember he used to cover the left side as well. You can always throw Paul Hartley there.
