Goalkeeper Andy Firth made just one appearance for Rangers during his three-year stint at the club between 2019 and 2022.
The former Liverpool kid was snapped up by Steven Gerrard from Barrow and was largely third-choice keeper during his spell with the Gers.
Firth's only appearance came in May 2019 on the final day of the season against Kilmarnock, when he replaced an injured Wes Foderingham.
While he wouldn't see any further playing time, Firth went on to become a cult hero among the Light Blues support.
He was often front and centre of wild celebrations, including after the Gers' defeat of RB Leipzig to reach the Europa League Final.
Firth's contract expired in the weeks that followed the Seville showpiece and his time in Glasgow came to an end.
When his exit was confirmed, the stopper said it had been the "best time of my life" and that he had "lived the dream" at Ibrox.
Firth spent two years with Connah's Quay Nomads in Wales after leaving Rangers before heading for Saudi Arabia in 2024 as a goalkeeping coach for Al-Ettifaq, once again working under Gerrard.
While he's been away from Ibrox for three years, Firth's love for Rangers certainly hasn't gone away.
The former goalkeeper was in fact BACK at his former home stadium to take in the Gers' clash with Club Brugge on Sunday.

Wife Bethan shared a couple of adorable snaps on Instagram showing the family outside the Ibrox gates.
Their baby son Carter was wearing a Rangers top with his name and his dad's number, 13, on the back.
Firth shared the pictures to his own Instagram story, adding: "And all my sons, will be like me."
Those are lyrics from a chant led by the Gers ultras group the Union Bears.
It isn't the first time Firth has been to see Rangers in action since his departure from the club.
Just weeks after leaving, he was in the crowd for a pre-season clash at Blackpool three years ago.
While Gerrard left Al-Ettifaq earlier this year, Firth has remained in his role as goalkeeping coach since.
