Craig Moore
| Date of birth | 12 December 1975 |
| Place of birth | Canterbury |
| Nationality | Australian |
| Weight | 78 kg |
| Height | 1.83 m |
| Position | Defender |
Having developed through the Australian Institute of Sport, Craig joined Rangers for the first time in September 1993.
He went on to win three Scottish League titles (1994-95, 1995-96, 1996-97) for the Gers before he was sold to Crystal Palace in October 1998.
However, financial problems forced the Selhurst Park club to send him back to Ibrox in March 1999.
A hard-tackling and uncompromising defender, he became troubled by injuries and struggled to establish himself as a regular first-team member.
Craig, who made his debut for Australia against Ghana in June 1995, joined Newcastle United in July 2005 with a two-year contract.
Craig scored the first equaliser with a penalty in the 2-2 against Croatia at Germany 2006 that saw Australia through to the knockout stages of the World Cup finals for the first time.
