Career

Marco Negri began his professional career in the 1988/89 season in Udine, northern Italy . In order to get more match practice, he was loaned to the Serie C2 club Novara Calcio in the following season. He then returned to Udinese Calcio , but only made five missions in a year and a half. At the end of 1991, the striker joined Ternana Calcio in Serie C1. There he got match practice, but he did not make the breakthrough. For the 1993/94 season he moved to Cosenza Calcio in Serie B , already in November he changed clubs again and played a class lower for Bologna FC .

The silent attacker was back in Cosenza in the summer of 1994 and made the breakthrough the following season. He scored 19 goals in 34 second division games. Negri was then obliged by league rivals AC Perugia and was able to keep his hit rate constant with 18 goals in 33 games. The team from Perugia celebrated promotion to Serie A also because of Negri's accuracy . Marco Negri scored 15 times in the top Italian division, but could not prevent his club from relegating. For 3.5 million pounds, he moved to the Glasgow Rangers in the Scottish Football League in mid-1997 . There he scored 23 goals in the first ten games of the season. The autumn of 1997 was the high point in the Italian's changeable career. The record-breaking quota from the first games could not keep Negri, but came on an outstanding 32 goals in 29 league games, with which he was top scorer of the Scottish Football League .

After an eye injury, which he sustained while playing squash with his teammate Sergio Porrini , he never regained his old form. Negri was loaned to Vicenza Calcio , where he did not convince. After returning to the Rangers, he only played once. He tried it in Bologna, at Cagliari Calcio , AS Livorno , and at his ex-club in Perugia, but Negri could not build on his previous performances.
