Glasgow Rangers 2011/2012 Pre-Liquidation Squad: Where Are They Now?

15. Steven Whittaker

During his time at Rangers, Steven Whittaker was often on the receiving end of some serious slating from fans. A clearly talented player, Whittaker was nonetheless usually posted on the right side of a defensive back four, somewhere he nearly really looked comfortable. Far better as an attacking playing, it was baffling to see Walter Smith and Ally McCoist play the man where he was most fragile.

Signed in 2007 for £2 million on a 5-year deal, the Scot was nonetheless still in contract when it came time for renegotiation with Glasgow Rangers in 2012 (due to a previous extension of his deal), but he chose against sticking with the club and playing in the Third Division. Instead, Whittaker moved South, joining Norwich City, who were in the English Premier League at the time.

Now, the defender is still with Norwich, and will play once more in the Premier League due to the club being promoted in season 2014-2015 via the Playoffs from the Championship. During his time at Rangers, Whittaker lifted many a trophy above his head, but he has experienced mixed results at Norwich, not always being a first-team regular.
