Andrew Little

Rangers

A former Ballinamallard United player, he moved from Northern Ireland to Scotland in 2006 to join the Rangers Academy. He scored for the Gers in the club's Scottish Youth Cup final victory over Old Firm rival's Celtic at Hampden Park in 2008. That season he also helped the club to top the SPFL Development League. He made his senior debut as a substitute for Kris Boyd in the 3–0 win over St Mirren in the Scottish Cup semi-finals on 25 April 2009. The next month he was selected as a member of Rangers' HKFC Soccer Sevens side; he helped the side to reach the final of the tournament, where they then lost out to Celtic. On 4 October 2009, Little was given his first Rangers start against Celtic at right-back but was substituted eleven minutes in after injuring his hamstring in the opening minute of the match. He scored his first goal for the club on 23 January 2010, in a league game against Hearts which finished 1–1. Overall, he made ten appearances in the 2009–10 season. He scored his second goal for the club on 27 October 2010, in a League Cup game against Kilmarnock. The goal was later a candidate for the club's goal of the season award. However, he then missed much of the rest of the season with a hip injury that eventually required surgery to correct. Upon his recovery, Little signed a one-year contract extension in July 2011. Looking for first-team football, Little went on loan at Port Vale on 31 August 2011. His loan deal was due to last until 1 January…

Little won eleven caps for the Northern Ireland under-19s, scoring four goals, including one in the 2008 Milk Cup final victory over Chile. He then moved up to the under-21 side, where he made four appearances, scoring against Scotland and twice against San Marino. He won a cap for the "B team" against Scotland in 2009. Little made his debut for the senior team on 28 March 2009 in a 2010 World Cup qualifier against Poland; he replaced David Healy in the 90th minute of the match and Northern Ireland went on to win 3–2. He picked up further caps in friendlies against Italy, Albania, Turkey, and Chile.

Little returned to Rangers in May 2017 as a part-time coach in the club's Academy.

A utility player, Little could play anywhere in defence and midfield and could also be used as a striker.

"I don't really have a set position, I have played upfront, right-back and in midfield, but I feel I am more comfortable the further up the pitch I play."
