Andrew Mark "Andy" Smith (born 27 November 1968 in Aberdeen), is a retired Scottish football player, who most recently was a temporary manager of Gretna F.C. with Mick Wadsworth.
[edit] Career
Smith's first professional club was Airdrieonians. He scored Airdrie's goal in the 1992 Scottish Cup Final, and also appeared in the 1995 Scottish Cup Final, but Airdrie were defeated on both occasions.
Smith then joined Dunfermline Athletic in 1995. He made over 100 appearances for the club, scoring 47 goals. He had spells at Kilmarnock and Ross County, before joining Raith Rovers in 2001. During his time here, he won the Scottish Second Division championship.
Smith joined Clyde in July 2003, and formed a good partnership with Ian Harty. Despite age catching up on him, Smith scored 10 league goals for the club, and almost won promotion to the Scottish Premier League, losing out to champions Inverness Caledonian Thistle by 1 point.
He then joined Gretna, where he made a handful of appearances, and helped them win the Scottish Third Division. He retired from football in 2005, though he has remained at Gretna in a coaching role. Smith is currently Gretna's caretaker manager, while Mick Wadsworth is away sorting out his future at the troubled club.
