Nathan Kenneth Patterson (born 16 October 2001) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a right-back for the Scottish Premiership club Rangers and the Scotland national team.
Club career
On 21 December 2019, Patterson signed a new Rangers contract, keeping him at the club until 2022.[2] He made his debut on 17 January 2020, in a Scottish Cup match against Stranraer at Ibrox Stadium.[3] He made his league debut against Kilmarnock on 22 August 2020, coming on as a substitute in the 86th minute in a 2–0 win.[4]
Patterson made his European debut on 10 December 2020, starting in a 2–0 away win against Polish side Lech Poznań.[5] He scored his first goal for the club on 25 February 2021, in a UEFA Europa League match against Royal Antwerp, scoring 16.6 seconds after coming on as a second half substitute.[6] Patterson played regularly for Rangers during the later part of the 2020–21 season, deputising for the injured James Tavernier, until he was suspended for breaching coronavirus pandemic rules.[7]
International career
Patterson has represented Scotland at various youth levels up to under-21s.[8] He was added to the full national squad for the first time in May 2021, ahead of the delayed UEFA Euro 2020 tournament.[9] Patterson made his full international debut in a pre-tournament friendly against Luxembourg.[10]
Personal life
In February 2021, Patterson was one of five Rangers players fined by Scottish police "for attending an illegal gathering of 10 people in a flat" in breach of lockdown rules during the coronavirus pandemic.[11] Patterson and the other players were banned for six games by the SFA for the breach, although part of that sentence was suspended.[7]
