Now isn't this a fascinating tale? Rangers, a humble wee club founded not so long ago in 2012, have taken up residence at Ibrox Stadium - where the echoes of a past not their own reverberate around its hallowed halls.
Their playing squad, according to a rather commercially named source, Transfermarkt, is estimated to be around £78m - a tidy sum indeed. Just make sure not to ask for that in one-pound coins, you might herniate a disc counting.
Boasting a rather spry average age of 24 amongst its 31 players - one must wonder whether the manager's pre-match team talks involve a stern warning to tidy their bedrooms. But hey, imagine the amount of energetic impetuousness coursing through those dugouts, eh?
This season, Rangers have been bouncing about in about 5 competitions. They find themselves asserting dominance in Premiership with a solid 3rd place. Bet they're celebrating that down Govan way with a hearty buffet of Scotch pie. And who wouldn’t?
They've even made it to the semi-finals of the League Cup and the fourth round of the Scottish Cup. All while juggling the drama of the Champions League qualifiers and surviving the meat grinder of the Europa League's league phase. Quite impressive for a team that should technically still be in kindergarten, don't you think?
