Rangers are a professional football club based in the city of Glasgow, Scotland and they are one of the most successful football clubs in Europe enjoying a long and proud history. Originally founded in 1873 Rangers quickly established themselves as a competitive force in Scottish football and since their inception they have developed into one of the two top teams in the Scottish Premier League, along with bitter city rivals Celtic FC. Along with Celtic, their longest and most fierce rivals, Rangers form one half of the infamous “Old Firm”.

Rangers have achieved unparalleled success domestically lifting 51 League titles, a world record, confirming their place as the most competitive football team in Scottish football. Along with bitter rivals Celtic Rangers dominate the Scottish Premier League and the title race each season is usually a toss up between these two clubs.

In addition to their outstanding domestic success Rangers have also proven themselves as European contenders after lifting the European Cup Winner’s Cup in 1972. However, since this date Rangers have failed to lift any European silverware despite repeated attempts to impose themselves in Europe.

In recent years Rangers and Celtic have attempted to tackle the inherent sectarianism of their fans that has been prevalent in years gone by as the Rangers supporters are traditionally Protestant and the Celtic supporters are traditionally Catholic. The steps Rangers have taken gained admiration from UEFA when in September 2007 they praised the measures the club had taken against sectarianism.

Rangers FC are one of the two strongest teams competing in Scottish football and their success in the League is unparalleled in all of Europe.
