Gavin Rae (born 28 November 1977) is a professional footballer who currently plays for Scottish Premier League team Rangers.
He formerly played for Dundee and is also a regular in the Scotland national team.
Rae made his debut on 3 January 2004 against Celtic but only lasted 30 minutes due to a hamstring injury. After recovery he managed to score his first goal against Dundee, his former club. However he suffered another injury, damaging his knee against Dundee United on 24 April 2004. His road to recovery was hit by several set-backs before he finally made his return to the Rangers first team on 18 February 2006 against Hibernian. He went on to make regular appearances in the Rangers team, particularly towards the end of the season with fellow midfielder Barry Ferguson requiring an operation due to a long running leg injury.
It is not yet clear whether Rae is seen as an important member of Rangers’ team under new manager Paul Le Guen for 2006-07.
