Glasgow Rangers F.C. ... Scotland, which plays in the Scottish Premier League. Rangers are the most successful club in Scottish football, with 51 league titles, and have won the most trophies of any football club in the world. The club's home, the all-seated 51,082-capacity Ibrox Stadium in south-west Glasgow, has been accredited as one of UEFA's five-star stadia. Rangers players and fans today are multi-national and of various religions, although the club has traditionally been identified with the Protestant Unionist community of Scotland. For most of their history, Rangers have enjoyed a fierce rivalry with their cross-city opponents Celtic. The club is nicknamed The Teddy Bears, from the rhyming slang for Gers (short for Rangers), and the fans are known to each other as 'Bluenoses'. The club's correct name is simply Rangers F.C. although it is sometimes incorrectly called Glasgow Rangers. This frequently happens with English commentators seeking to distinguish between them and other similarly-named clubs, particularly Queens Park Rangers F.C. This naming convention is also popular in Europe and further afield, where any club without its location in its name receives it as a prefix or suffix, for example Red Star Belgrade.

Newest Review: ... to one of the greatest talents ever to kick a ball in the light blue jersey of rangers Jim Baxter, Jim was truly world class ( a term which gets banded about far too much these days. He was a true genius with a ball at his feet, I have only ever seen video footage of this man but I can tell you that the sight of this man with a ball at his feet taking on player after player and showboating ... more

 ... all the way is breathtaking. Jim Baxter Loved to take players on and not just one or two he would have a go at the whole opposition team some times and pull it off. One of his most memorable moments came not in the light blue shirt of Rangers but in the ...more

Crowned Review Glasgow Rangers F.C.: SIMPLY THE BEST!!! (3101 words)

The Ger`s, The light blues, The teddy bears, a few of the names the mighty Glasgow Rangers are known as. This giant Glasgow football club was formed in 1872 although the official founding is recognised as having happened one year later when the clubs first annual meeting was held and staff were elected. The four men that built the first Glasgow rangers team were Peter Campbell, William Mcbeath and Brothers Moses and Peter McNeil. Rangers missed the deadline for joining the Scottish Football Association in their first season so it was spent playing only friendlies which meant that they missed out on taking part in the inaugural Scottish cup in that year but ...  Read the complete review

Well another season has come to an end and what a season it was, we've won the treble and celtic won absolutely nothing!!!Big Eck has done a wonderful job in bringing together a group of players who under Dick Advocaat couldnt string 2 passes together and looked so disjointed and uninspiring but now he has them playing like a strong unit, playing the passing game and now seems to have some sort of jinx on Martin O'neil. But what does the future hold for next season? well to be honest im not looking forward to the champions league qualifiers as there has been a mass exodus through those hallowed gates in that Canniggia(what an athelete at 37!), ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Glasgow Rangers F.C.: Dagestan - to go or not to go. (377 words)
by - written on 11/09/01 (Very useful, 43 readings)
Rating:

UEFA this morning told Rangers that they had to play Thursday's UEFA cup game in Makhachkala, Dagestan. Rangers Chairman David Murray has said that the club will appeal the decision, pending stronger guarantees of safety from the Russian officials. As a tim, I'm not sure how Rangers should approach this. Sure, there may be a risk of fighting spilling over from neighbouring Chechnya, and it has been questioned if teh game would be allowed to go ahead if it was Manchester United or Real Madrid involved, rather than Rangers. But what if Rangers had drawn Atletico Bilbao? Would there have been a question of fulfilling the game despite ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review The Super Rangers (456 words)

Yes that is the team that i support,although recently thier performances have been falling short of what we have grown to expect. Celtic are our closest and oldest rivals and have been through some hard times over the past 10-15 years. On the brink of going out of business due to financial difficulties at one point,the club that hail from Parkhead have now toppled Rangers as the top club in Scotland. This is maybe one reason why rangers were so successful,Celtic changed managers quite a few times over the years and just could not break the gers hold on the scottish game. But alas now celtic seem to have found thier man in Martin O'Neill who ...  Read the complete review

I am writing as a life long Rangers fan who did not enjoy last season one little bit, but am looking forward to this season with mixed feelings. I am 43 years of age and can still remember my teenage years watching the bears in the Seventies when Celtic were winning everything (8 in a row etc) and Rangers were struggling so I can remember worse times than last season although many of todays fans dont see this. I have had a few heroes in the past, John Greig, Sandy Jardine, Derek Johnstone ,Derk Parlane, Bobby Russell, Jim Bett, Terry Butcher, Paul Gasgoine, the superb Brian Laudrup, Jorg Albertz( I still shed a tear at him leaving) to name a few ...  Read the complete review
