Smith also says alcohol laws could be relaxed at football grounds

The former Rangers striker has long backed the use of TV cameras to expose divers in his work as a media pundit.

He told BBC Reporting Scotland: "It's something I have always spoken about it.

"I do feel if cameras are there then we should be using them for the general advantage of the game."

Interview: SFA chief executive Gordon Smith

Smith explained: "By that I mean trying to improve decision-making.

"We're looking more at trying to cut back on some of the cheating that goes on in the game - there is quite a lot of it.

"We can look at a scenario where we expose people who do it regularly and blatantly.

"That might be an idea but I've got to sit down and talk to the referee people first."

Smith also raised the prospect of alcohol being sold inside Scottish football grounds.

Clubs were banned from selling alcohol to fans during games after the riot on the Hampden pitch between Celtic and Rangers fans at the 1980 Scottish Cup final.

The Scottish Executive recently announced plans to relax the ban at Murrayfield for rugby internationals and Smith believes football could follow suit.

"I think it looks like an interesting idea," he said. "For quite some time we haven't done it but it's a social event, football.

"It could maybe be an idea where we have a voucher system where people going through the turnstile get two or three vouchers which maximises the amount of drinks they can have at the match itself.

"That way we could maybe bring alcohol back in but reduce the problems that can come with it."

The former agent hinted the SFA were unlikely to introduce a probe into his former colleagues and their role in transfers similar to the Quest inquiry in England.

Smith said: "It's possible but my experience is, and it's obviously anecdotal, that there doesn't seem to be much of a problem in Scotland, maybe because there's less money up here.

"The Stevens report and investigation cost an awful lot of money to the FA. It depends how much money you can put aside to investigate."
