A life as a midfielder, to recover balls, born without good feet to work on the lungs: so sang Luciano Ligabue in one of his greatest hits - Una vita da mediano - making a magnificent parallel between the green rectangle and everyday life talking about ordinary people who manage to make their dreams come true with hard work. If there is a player, but first of all a man, who managed to embody the spirit and the deepest meaning of the song's verses, that was certainly Gennaro Gattuso.

In Scotland he finds a physical and tough championship where he forges his characteristics as a fighter. With the arrival of Walter Smith on the bench, Rino is employed as a central defender, a role not exactly suited to his characteristics. The performance is affected and its sale at the end of the season does not surprise or make noise.
