Alexander Scott Rae, (born September 30, 1969 in Glasgow), is a professional footballer, who is currently player-manager at Dundee. He is known as a tough-tackling midfielder.

Rae started his career as a youngster at boyhood heroes Rangers but was rejected by boss Graeme Souness.He dropped down to junior leagues with Bishopbriggs before He joined Falkirk and enjoyed a successful two years before heading south to sign for Millwall in 1990 for £100,000.

He made his Millwall debut on August 25, 1990. His form for Millwall earned him a big money move to Premier League Sunderland for £1 million in 1996, where he established himself as a crowd-pleasing, combative midfielder. His career took a downturn though, as he descended into alcoholism, leading to him attending a rehab clinic during 1998. He stayed sober after this treatment and further rehabilitation, and later became a patron for the Sporting Chance clinic.

Back on the field, he won promotion as champions back to the Premier League with Sunderland in 1998–99 and played regularly in the top flight. By 2001, he had dropped out of manager Peter Reid's plans and was sold to Wolverhampton Wanderers in September 2001, for £1.2 million.

He quickly became an important player for Wolves, winning the fans' player of the season award in his first campaign. The following year, he helped them back into the Premiership when they won the play-offs in 2003. He had a strong year in the top flight, finishing as the club's leading scorer with 8 goals - his best ever seasonal tally - but could not prevent the clubs relegation.

Rae re-signed for Rangers in May 2004, [Cite news
