Gascoigne signed for Rangers in July 1995, for a club record fee of £4.3 million, and made an immediate impact. Rangers went on to win the Double in the 1995–96 season, clinching the title in the penultimate game of the season against Aberdeen at Ibrox Stadium; Gascoigne scored a hat-trick during the game. He scored 19 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions, and was named as both PFA Scotland Players’ Player of the Year and SFWA Footballer of the Year. Rangers won the league title again in 1996–97, their ninth in succession. Gascoigne claimed hat-tricks against Kilmarnock and Motherwell, and ended the campaign with 17 goals in 34 games.
