Ignacio Javier "Nacho" Gómez Novo (Spanish pronunciation: [iɣˈnaθjo xaˈβjeɾ ˈnatʃo ˈɣomeθ ˈnoβo]; born 26 March 1979) is a Spanish footballer who currently plays for NIFL Premiership side Glentoran.
He formerly played for Huesca in Spain then moved to Scotland with Raith Rovers and Dundee. In July 2004, he moved to Rangers for £450,000. During his first season at the club he scored 25 goals and won a league and League Cup double. He had to wait four years before lifting the league championship again in the 2008–09 season, where he also scored the winning goal in the 2009 Scottish Cup Final which won him his second double with the Ibrox club.
On 5 February 2015, Novo married his long-term girlfriend Donna Clark.
Novo joined Raith Rovers from SD Huesca in July 2001. He made a scoring debut against Airdrieonians on 4 August, and netted the winner during a Challenge Cup match against Alloa Athletic three days later. Novo saw himself sent off in only his third match for Raith, whilst playing against Partick Thistle.
Despite this setback he went on to score consistently in the Scottish First Division, netting doubles against St Mirren and twice against Falkirk. Novo accumulated a total of 22 goals in 38 appearances during his first season in Scotland.
