There's a quaint little team known as the Rangers, founded not ages ago but in the mild summer of 2012. They've taken up residence at Ibrox Stadium, a place largely known in the annals of Scottish football. A recent vintage, indeed.
Now let's talk about the crucial matter, the money. According to the esteemed folks at Transfermarkt, these latter-day Rangers have cobbled together a playing squad with a market value totalling somewhere in the region of £93 million. Quite the small fortune for such a nascent venture, wouldn't you agree?
They've secured a brood of 31 players, all averaging around the tender age of 25. A veritable greenhorn gang traipsing around the hallowed grass of Scottish football.
Imagine our collective surprise then that this season, Rangers have managed to involve themselves in no less than five competitions. Currently finding their footing at third place in the Premiership, they've also tripped their way to the Semi-Finals of the League Cup, the Fifth Round of the Scottish Cup, the Play-Offs of the Champions League Qualifiers and the League Phase of the Europa League. Admirable enthusiasm, albeit with varying degrees of success.
