Don Kitchenbrand (also Kichenbrand; born 13 August 1933) was a South African football player who played in Britain for Rangers and Sunderland in the mid to late 1950s. He was nicknamed The Rhino by Rangers fans.
In his first season in British football (1955-1956), Kitchenbrand scored 24 goals in 25 league appearances to help Rangers win the Scottish League title. That season’s goal tally included a 5-goal haul in an 8-0 rout of Queen of the South at Ibrox on 7 March 1956. Kitchenbrand didn’t feature much for Rangers after that first season, having lost his place in the side to Max Murray, and left for Sunderland in March 1958.
Kitchenbrand played 54 competitive games for Sunderland, scoring 28 goals. In November 1958 he scored a hat-trick in a 4-0 win over Rotherham, the first hat-trick a Sunderland player had achieved in two years.
Kitchenbrand returned to his homeland in 1960 to play for Johannesburg Wanderers, before coming back to Scotland two years later for a brief spell at Forfar Athletic.
