Derek Johnstone Biography

Derek Johnstone is one of the most popular and richest Former Football Player who was born on November 4, 1953 in Dundee, Scotland.

Johnstone signed for Rangers as a schoolboy in 1968. He turned professional in 1970 and made his debut on 19 September 1970, aged 16 years and 319 days. Johnstone scored two goals in that match, a 5–0 victory against Cowdenbeath.

Despite his heroics against Celtic, Johnstone found regular first-team outings in the number ‘9’ jersey hard to come by, largely due to the presence of Colin Stein, Scotland’s first £100,000 player, although he did score 11 goals in 16 league appearances during the 1971–72 season. He compensated for his lack of frontline action by often playing as a centre-back when either Ronnie McKinnon or Colin Jackson was injured, and when the duo were ruled out of the 1972 European Cup Winners’ Cup Final, Johnstone (still only 18) deputised in the match against Dynamo Moscow.

With Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur reportedly interested in luring Rangers’ top marksman to London, Johnstone submitted a transfer request in the summer of 1978. He was seeking a new challenge in his career, but the intervention of new Rangers manager John Greig persuaded Johnstone to stay in Glasgow. He was named club captain, and in his first season with the armband, he almost led the Ibrox side to an unprecedented second successive treble; only a last-gasp 4–2 defeat against Celtic at Parkhead denied Rangers the Championship, but Johnstone did get his hands on the Scottish Cup – he scored twice in the Final’s second replay against Hibernian – and the League Cup, beating Aberdeen.
