At the holy sanctum of Scottish football, known to a decent percentage of us as the Ibrox Stadium, there currently resides a footballing entity of certain renown that saw the light of day back in the year of 2012. The club in question, you ask? Ah, it's the Rangers, of course.
Now the Rangers squad, they're a group that push the scales to an impressive total market value of about £92m, a fact noted by those fine folks at Transfermarkt. Impressive, aye, but an amount that I'm meant to believe is simply floating around in the ether somewhere.
The Gordon Street tenants have a full house of 31 players, all dolled up in blue, kicking a ball around in training. The average age of this athletic assemblage? A sprightly 25 years old. They're practically in nappies, the lot of them.
Our dear Rangers have stuck their proverbial fingers into more pies than you could count, if you were the counting type. They've been dabbling, this season, in no less than five competitions. They're firmly ensconced in a cozy third place in the Premiership, whereas they sailed joyfully to the semi-finals of the League Cup. The Scottish Cup witnessed them gallivanting around till the fifth round.
The shining stars of the European football constellation also had the dubious pleasure of Rangers' company. Imagine it, the Rangers, gambolling in the lush fields of the Champions League Qualifiers till the play-offs while also getting their boots dirty in the trenches of the Europa League during the League Phase. Aye, it's a pure wonder to behold, ain't it?
