David Provan (11 March 1941 – 26 November 2016) was a Scottish professional footballer, who played for Rangers, Crystal Palace, Plymouth Argyle and St Mirren. Provan also played for Scotland and the Scottish League XI.
Career
Provan was a product of the Rangers youth team and played as a full back. He made his debut on 27 December 1958, in a league match away to Third Lanark which Rangers won 3-2. He helped the club win a domestic treble in 1963–4 and played in the 1967 European Cup Winners' Cup Final, which Rangers lost 1–0 to Bayern Munich.[2] Provan is one of the players elected to Rangers' Hall of Fame.[3]
He left the club in June 1970[4] and joined English club Crystal Palace, although he was not there for long, making only two senior appearances in total,[4] before moving on in March 1971, to Plymouth Argyle.[4] He stayed at Plymouth for five seasons and made over 100 appearances.[5]
Provan subsequently played for St Mirren where he finished his senior career in 1975,[5] and began his coaching career under then-manager Alex Ferguson.[6] He later went on to manage Albion Rovers from 1987 to 1991, leading the club to the Scottish Football League Second Division title in 1988–9.[6]
Rangers FC announced on 26 November 2016 that Provan had died, following a long illness.[2][7]
