The striker was left out of the squad for tonight's Clydesdale Bank Premier League win over Inverness as it emerged he was close to sealing a move to Turkey.

Birmingham - who had a bid accepted for the 22-goal forward - revealed earlier in the day that he had rejected a move to St Andrew's in favour of an "irresistible" offer from the Turkish champions.

"We don't know whether he is away yet or not," said Smith.

"Both clubs haven't agreed a fee. I think Kenny and his advisors have agreed their part with Bursaspor.

"We'll just have to wait and see if they can reach agreement with our own club."

With one striker set to leave, Smith was pleased to welcome back another in the shape of Nikica Jelavic, who made his comeback after almost four months on the sidelines through injury.

Steven Davis may have grabbed the only goal of the game but the biggest cheer from the Ibrox faithful was reserved for the Croatian forward coming off the bench.

Smith said: "It was good to see him back. He has been doing well in training. He was just on the pitch and I think he had three or four attempts at goal.

"Maybe when the match sharpness comes back we will see the goals at the end of it. It's good to have him back on the pitch."

Jelavic and Miller were beginning to carve out an impressive partnership before his injury and Smith is disappointed now it looks unlikely that relationship will have the chance to flourish.

He added: "I would have thought Jelavic would have been a good partner for Kenny Miller so it's disappointing that we have hardly had them together after thinking we would have them from the start of the season.

"It doesn't look like that will be the case so we just have to get on with it. But we are happy to have a striker back considering that we may lose one."

Meanwhile, Inverness manager Terry Butcher again angrily hit out at being forced to make the long journey to Glasgow from the Highlands for a midweek match with little notice.

He said: "I'm extremely angry that we have been forced to play down here with seven days notice when Rangers wanted to play other teams.

"We have played more games than anyone else and we were forced to travel against our will four days after being down here to play Motherwell."

Inverness are one of the clubs opposed to the SPL's plans to revamp Scottish football by introducing a 10-team top flight.

And Butcher added: "We are also being classed as 'rebels' and we are bitterly disappointed that we are being bullied into this 10-team league that we feel is utterly wrong.

"I just get the feeling that people at the top don't want Inverness in the league and we feel very aggrieved about that because we have earned the right to be in the league, we have earned the right to be where we are because of the way we play and the way we handle our business."
