Smith, who returned to Rangers as a non-executive director in November after two spells as manager, said in a statement: “Both Malcolm and Phil have made important and valuable contributions to the club.
“The last year has presented the club with a number of challenges and it has been beneficial to have two highly experienced non-executive directors such as Malcolm and Phil offering assistance.
“On behalf of the board I would like to thank them for their considerable efforts in helping to rebuild Rangers.
“Both men have other significant business interests and we wish them well in their future endeavours.”
