Crawley striker Billy Clarke has spoken of his pride at winning a new Player of the Year honour.
The 14-goal striker is the inaugural winner of the Dave Haining Trophy after winning the most man of the match votes on the club's official website during the season.
He will receive the trophy at Saturday's home game against Hartlepool from family members of Mr Haining, who passed away last summer after serving the club for 47 years as a player, coach, manager and secretary.
Clarke told the club's official website: "To be part of a club for 47 years shows incredible loyalty and I will be extremely proud to be the first recipient of the Dave Haining Trophy."
Manager Richie Barker added: "It must have been a difficult decision to make because a lot of our players have been extremely consistent this season in terms of their performances.
"We often asked Billy to play in different positions but he always gives his best and he's come up with some fantastic goals as well. To be our top scorer in our first season in League One and win the Dave Haining Trophy as well is a tremendous double for Billy."
The fans' favourite - who left Ibrox in 2010 - is out of contract with Huesca at the end of this campaign.
A transfer embargo means Light Blues boss Ally McCoist can only register free agents from September 1.
Novo, 34, will be back at Ibrox for a legends game against Manchester United on May 6 and hopes to persuade McCoist to hand him a deal.
He told the Rangers website: "I can't wait to play for the fans again.
"I have always been close to them and I have really missed that side of things while I have been away because Rangers are massive.
"The supporters have suffered a lot this season with the situations at the club and hopefully I can help them have a nice way to finish the year.
"I can't wait to feel the atmosphere they create and I just hope it's not the last time I play at Ibrox.
"At this moment in time, I am leaving Huesca at the end of the season and I want to come back to Rangers.
"It still feels like I only left yesterday. It is my team, my club, and I really miss it. It is in my mind that I want to return to the club next season.
"I will need to speak with Coisty and see what he says but that is the first thing on my mind. I would love to play for the club again.
"I have so many good memories and it has been nice over the years to have so many fans asking me to come back. For me, it is my home."
Reports on Friday suggest that messages about the two men, posted under a pseudonym on a fans' website, have been linked to commercial director Imran Ahmad's official Rangers email account.
The online comments apparently accused McCoist and former boss Smith of "trying to take control of the club without putting any money in".
A brief statement from Rangers read: "We are aware of the newspaper report and are currently investigating the matter. No further comment at this stage."
Asked about the comments ahead of Saturday's Third Division game at East Stirling, McCoist said: "I genuinely haven't read them. I'm not really an online person - facebook and tweeting isn't my forte.
"But I have been told and kept up to speed with some of the things that have been said.
"Normally I can't speak for somebody else but I can speak for Walter and I will speak for Walter.
"The fans can be totally reassured by the fact that all myself and Walter have ever wanted is the best for the club and that will continue to be the case.
"In no way, shape or form were we trying to take over the club in the last few months. Not at all.
"All we have attempted to do is the right thing for the club and I can absolutely assure the support that will always be the case."
Smith joined the Rangers board in November, accepting the role of non-executive director.
McCoist added: "In my opinion, Walter Smith epitomises what a Rangers stalwart should be.
"People like Walter Smith and Sandy Jardine and John Greig, those are people who, for me, epitomise our football club.
"Maybe one day we can get Sandy and John back as well, which I think would be fantastic.
"I don't think it's a necessity having somebody like Walter on the board but I think it's an absolute Godsend for myself and the normal supporter because we are safe in the knowledge that anything that Walter will do will be for the benefit of the football club.
"I don't think Walter would claim to be Scottish businessman of the year but he knows enough about business and he certainly knows more about the football club, and the running of the football club, than probably anybody else on the board.
"Everybody at Rangers is genuinely thrilled that Walter is there doing his best for the club."
Earlier this week, Craig Mather was appointed as interim chief executive following Charles Green's resignation last Friday.
Green stepped down from the role amid allegations by former owner Craig Whyte that he was involved in Green's consortium's acquisition of Rangers last summer.
The Yorkshireman has denied any wrongdoing and the Rangers board has commissioned an independent investigation into Whyte's claims.
Asked if he trusts Mather and the board to steer the club in the right direction, McCoist said: "Of course I do. Absolutely. There would be no point in me being here if I didn't.
"I have to believe - and I do believe - that we will get it right.
"Once we find out the inquiry's results, we can tell the fans exactly what has been happening and what we hope to happen.
"For us to move on and make a fresh start, we must have the results from the independent inquiry and, in my opinion, they must be made public because our fans and shareholders deserve to know.
"Once that happens, I believe we will be far better placed to make real progress and move forward as a club.
"There's been lots of things happening in the last six weeks that's not good for the image of the club.
"It's been negative and I just look forward to the day - I firmly believe it will happen - when we are talking about teams that are playing good football and winning games and exciting our support. That's where I want to be."
Former Rangers player John Brown, who was today appointed as Dundee boss on a permanent basis, last summer questioned who owned the assets of Rangers, after the club was consigned to liquidation.
McCoist said: "John was very forthright and opinionated in his views not so long ago.
"I don't think he's ever said he was willing to take them back or he was going to eat his words.
"There are a lot of things that have been happening recently that would maybe say he has still got a point. Some of the things John was saying might just have been valid."
Meanwhile, McCoist is hopeful of naming two pre-contract signings next week as he aims to bolster his squad for next season.
He said: "There's nothing concrete yet but I'd be really hopeful that this time next week we would be able to give you a couple of names of players that we have got over the line."
