 looks like sealing a move to Wolves and Smith must hope the likes of Brahim Hemdani Brahim Hemdani (born 15 March 1978 in Colombes, France) is a French professional football player of Algerian origin who currently plays for Rangers F.C. in the Scottish Premier League. , Charlie Adam, Andy Webster, Christian Dailly, Stevie Smith and Chris Burke can also attract clubs.

However, if they don't Smith admitted Gers won't pay them off as the club has in the past with players such as Emerson, Nuno Capucho and Christian Nerlinger. The Ibrox boss said: "They'll all stay here until the end of the season if they don't get the moves they are wanting."

Smith takes his team to Inverness today with his side still struggling for form on the road.

And the Gers gaffer believes that to solve their away day blues his players must cut out silly errors at the back while using the ball more intelligently in attack.

He said: "It's not just one aspect. At times our defending has been excellent and then there has been a bit of slackness.

"In some games we haven't created so it's about getting a better balance."
