KIRK BROADFOOT became a Rangers player in June 2007 after signing a pre-contract agreement to move to Ibrox a few months earlier.
The defender began his senior career with St Mirren after failing to settle as an apprentice at Hibernian.
He moved to Love Street aged 17 and in five years progressed from the role of fringe player to talismanic captain and fans' favourite.
Although keeping clean sheets was always his priority, Broadfoot combined that role with a desire to entertain and notched 13 goals during his five seasons in Paisley.
In one notable cameo he won the raucous approval of the St Mirren supporters - if not his manager - when he stood on the ball and saluted in the manner of ex-Ger Andrei Kanchelskis in a league match against St Johnstone.
During his time at Love Street he helped St Mirren win the Challenge Cup and First Division title and then played a large part in Gus MacPherson's side maintaining their SPL status in season 2006/07.
His form also earned him a call-up to the Scotland B side for the friendly match with Finland in February 2007.
Following his move to Ibrox he was viewed by many as a backup to Walter Smith's first choice defenders but after the departure of Alan Hutton six months later he established a place as first choice right back.
The popular Ayrshire man appeared in every match of Rangers' run to the UEFA Cup final and picked up his first medal as a League Cup winner in March of 2008.
His impressive form continued at the start of the 2008/09 season and his efforts earned him his first international call up for Scotland's trip to Iceland.
Handed a starting berth at right back, Broadfoot took just 19 minutes to grab his first Scotland goal as he rose to head home Barry Robson's free kick and set the nation on their way to a 2-1 win.
He continued as a regular for both club and country until his season was ended by injury in the League Cup final.
It would prove to be a long term problem with November of 2009 the projected return from a foot injury.
