Rab was signed from Celtic in mid-December 1947, making his debut at inside right in a league game against Dumbarton two days after signing. He would continue as our regular inside right until dropping back to his preferred right half position in the latter stages of the campaign. After starting the following season once again at right half he was moved into the front line in the autumn and staying there for the rest of the 1948-49 campaign. In his final season at Gayfield he spent the winter months also playing in the left half role before dropping out the team entirely towards the end and being transfer listed. After several months on the list, he moved on to Cowdenbeath in early August prior to the start of the 1950-51 season, and the Central Park club made him team captain.
