<\/STRONG>And although Nacho is a small in stature - McLeish joked he could 'walk under a bed wearing a top hat' at the press-conference - the former Raith Rovers livewire has become a big hit with supporters.
The pacey forward was Alex McLeish's sixth summer capture - hot on the heels of Dado Prso, Jean-Alain Boumsong, Alex Rae, Dragan Mladenovic and Marvin Andrews - and has grabbed his Ibrox chance with both hands.<\/P>
The Ferrol-born hitman, put pen to paper on a four-year contract with the club, and enjoyed a superb debut campaign - netting 25 goals in 49 appearances.<\/P>
Adapting to life at Ibrox wasn't be a problem for the Spaniard as he has a good understanding of the Scottish game.<\/P>
In 2001 the striker was given his chance to impress when Raith Rovers brought him over from SD Huesca and Novo didn't disappoint, scoring 19 goals in 36 games.<\/P>
In fact his form was so impressive that after only one season at Stark's Park Dundee snapped him up for a nominal fee.<\/P>
There he obviously made his mark bagging 6 goals in his first campaign in the SPL and then 26 the following term.<\/P>
Novo admits he still has a lot to learn but has enhanced Alex McLeish's squad and even scored the goal at Hibs in May 2005 that helped secure the club's 51st league championship.<\/P>
Nacho's partnership with Dado Prso was one of the highlights of the 2004\/05 double winning campaign and although his goals dried up at the back end of the season, he still contributed with a number of key assists playing on the right wing.<\/P>
The 2005\/06 season was a frustrating one for the Spaniard as he struggled to secure a place in the starting eleven but he hoping for a fresh start under Paul Le Guen.<\/P>","43E2EE6075CF14CE3F1421B506383C07":"Spain","229187823D238BA5":"375","F849A024F3C8AF1B2C4A709B4C92BB0F":"2014-2-12","1CD1A53514962B6A":"1","D91FA56861637784":"Glentoran FC","56D1193A280251FE":"Nacho Novo","37FE64B882E92ECB":"Nacho Novo","05B90AE4F21571952008D48326AE77E3":"10","F14A25307A7B90F34DF7D46459F247E0":"1979-3-26","A3B3C821F4815DD2":"26082","e_index":3};
