Robert "Bob" Malcolm, (born November 12, 1980 in Glasgow), is a Scottish professional footballer who is currently playing for Derby County.
He previously played for Scottish Premier League team Rangers, either as a centre-back or defensive midfielder. Malcolm, despite playing 17 times for Rangers during season 2005-06 under Alex McLeish, was not the plans of new manager Paul Le Guen and was left out of the squad's pre-season trip to South Africa.
Malcolm had been linked with moves to Dundee United, Ipswich Town and Coventry City, before being released by Rangers on August 31, 2006. He eventually signed for Derby on September 6.
[edit] Controversy
In May 2004, Malcolm was fined £5,000 after signing "FTP" (interpreted as Fuck The Pope) alongside an autograph for a fan. Anti-sectarian charity Nil by Mouth made Rangers aware of the incident which took place at a private club function. [1]
In November 2004, Malcolm was sent-off from the dug-out, and escorted to the dressing room by two police officers, for making what was reported to have been obscene gestures towards fans of rival SPL club Celtic F.C., during an Old Firm game. However, he did return to the bench later in the match. [2]
[edit] Trivia
Upon being released by Rangers Malcolm told the Scottish press that he was disappointed to have not been given a chance to play one last time at Ibrox and say goodbye to the fans, however upon being told he was to be realised he immediately bought a season ticket for Rangers and said that as the club means so much to him he feels that he will never truly be able to say goodbye.
