Connor Goldson, born on 18 December 1992 (age 33), is an English central defender now with Aris Limassol. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.91m), he was shaped by early loan football before becoming a serious presence at Shrewsbury Town, where his 2014-15 league season – 44 appearances and seven goals – remains the most productive of his career.
Whatever came before and after, Goldson’s career is overwhelmingly associated with Rangers. Across six seasons he made 192 league appearances and scored 15 league goals, becoming a long-serving figure in their back line and, from a Celtic perspective, a familiar enough nuisance. During that spell he won a Premiership title, a Scottish Cup and a League Cup.
He later moved on to Aris Limassol, where he remains primarily a central defender. His form this season has been solid and consistent, which is broadly what clubs tend to want from a centre-half of his type.
Goldson’s career has had its staging posts, but Rangers is the main chapter: a durable defender, physically suited to the role, and a significant rival figure over a sustained period.
