Notes One of the few players to have won 9 consecutive championship medals during the nine-in-a-row years, Gough is a true legend such was his contribution to the Rangers team during this time.   Gough's professional approach and attutude to the game meant that he was rarely injured.  At the end of his 10th season at Ibrox, Gough joined Kansas City Wizards in the US soccer league for 1 season, before returning to Ibrox to cover for injuries to key defenders in the closing months of season 97/98 during the push for ten-in-a-row.  Such was his form and fitness levels during this time, Gough earned himself a move to Everton to join up again once more with Walter Smith.
