Bear in Mind - Can you answer these 5 Rangers related questions? (Wednesday 19th)

Got the first four with help from the initials.
I knew the player, but couldn't remember the name of the club even with the hint.
 
Straightforward today, although it took a wee minute for me to remember the team the last player went to when he left us. I knew the country, had to persuade myself I was right about the team.
 
Can you name the 4 bears from snippets from their Wikipedia?


1) "On 9 August 2007, he arrived at Murray Park in Glasgow to hold contract talks over a move and signed a three-year deal for a reported fee of £750,000. He scored his first goal for Rangers on his debut in a 2–0 home league win against St Mirren on 11 August 2007, and scored twice on his first start a week later against Falkirk."

I look forward to your comments!

Enjoy your day Bears!
Full house today.
Needed help with three though.
Good fun.
 
Got them all except the team in Q5.
Makes me feel old when you remember the older bear starting out.
 

Name, nickname, user name. Sorry for smartarse, was more a recognition that I always post your "name" when saying thanks and indicates how often I do these memory teasers. That was a long-winded way to say thanks, hope the team are more direct tomorrow night!!
 
5/5, though 4 sticks in my throat a little. Thanks OP, really enjoying these, appreciate the effort you make.
