Borussia Dortmund Born in
Dortmund, Klos arrived at
Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 1990, from neighbouring
TSC Eintracht Dortmund. He made his
Bundesliga debut on 4 May 1991 at only 19, in a 2–2 home draw against
SG Wattenscheid 09. Klos became first choice in
1991–92, relegating
Wolfgang de Beer to
the bench. He totalled 31 games for the campaign as his team finished runners-up, going on to win back-to-back national championships during his spell. As well as playing every match in
1996–97 for the third-placed side, Klos added 11 in
that season's
UEFA Champions League as they won the tournament for the first time. He left the club with 339 competitive appearances, and 114
clean sheets.
Rangers On 24 December 1998, Klos signed with Scottish club
Rangers on a contract that made him one of the highest-earning players in Europe. He replaced
Lionel Charbonnier as starter and was nicknamed 'Der Goalie', a play on
Andy Goram's nickname 'The Goalie'. He won his first
Scottish Premier League title
that season. Rangers won
the treble in
2002–03, with Klos again the starter. He did not concede a single goal in the league between 25 August and 28 September 2002. Klos was appointed
team captain in July 2004. Six months later, he picked up a knee
ligament injury in training, missing the remainder of
the season and being replaced by
Ronald Waterreus; the Dutchman retained his place after he regained full fitness. Klos looked set to challenge new signing
Lionel Letizi after
Paul Le Guen's arrival at the start of
2006–07, but he suffered a biking injury which gave long-term third choice
Allan McGregor the chance to play. On 22 February 2007, he made his first appearance of the season for the first team against
Hapoel Tel Aviv FC in the
round of 32 of the
UEFA Cup, after McGregor was
sent off in a 4–0 home win. Klos left
Ibrox Stadium at the end of
the campaign after eight and a half years, having played 298 matches in all competitions. He retired at the age of 36, In 2009, Klos was inducted into the club's Hall of Fame. ==Honours==
