Connor Goldson, born on 18 December 1992 (age 33), is an English centre-half now with Aris Limassol. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.91m) defender, his career was shaped first in the English lower leagues, where early loan football helped turn him from a prospect into a regular.
At Shrewsbury Town, he became more than just a big defender heading things away. His 2014-15 league season was the most productive of his career, with seven goals in 44 appearances, a useful reminder that his set-piece threat was there before he became a familiar figure in Glasgow.
Rangers, though, overwhelmingly defined his career. Across six seasons he made 192 league appearances and scored 15 league goals, becoming one of their more durable and recognisable players of the modern period. He also collected a Premiership title, a Scottish Cup and a League Cup during that spell โ enough silverware to give the period substance, if not quite the grandeur sometimes attached to it elsewhere.
Goldsonโs move on to Aris Limassol took him away from the weekly noise of Scottish football, but not from the outline of the career he built. He was a long-serving Rangers defender after coming through English football, with Shrewsbury giving him his platform and Glasgow giving him his profile.
