Sometimes, the absolute best players aren't always the most technical, they're the ones with the most heart and those who take the time to really become acquainted with the people who follow their club. That statement perhaps describes Nacho Novo perfectly, the little Spaniard was hated by rival fans, but adored by those who love Glasgow Rangers. At first glance, it's not hard to see why, because Novo was the kind of man people could rely on to always give 100% regardless of the situation. His trademark roars of delight towards the stands at Ibrox Stadium whenever he scored have become stuff of legend, and who will ever forget his wild celebrations upon scoring the winning penalty against Fiorentina in Italy which sent Rangers to the 2008 UEFA Cup Final? Before joining Rangers, Nacho Novo had been linked with a move from Dundee to Celtic, but chose the blue half of Glasgow instead. Of course, Novo didn't really flatter Celtic fans by claiming that he didn't like them as a club, and was never going to join their club, becoming even more of a pariah once he turned in brilliant performances against them for Rangers.
