Ah, the Rangers, a club with the storied history of a newborn, having proverbially crawled from the womb in the ethereal year of 2012. Their adopted playground is the somewhat renowned Ibrox Stadium located in the persistently rainy country of Scotland.
In the spirit of capitalism, one might assess the headcount of spry footy kicks within this esteemed institution at a considerable combined sticker price of around £89 million, if you're to believe the authorities at Transfermarkt. A harsh evaluation, one might think for a pitch of athletes who claim to average no more than the tender age of 24.
As for this season's antics; the Rangers have thrown their slightly worn hat into a total of 5 rings, pulling no punches in the Premiership where they comfortably sit in the esteemed 2nd place position. It comes as a surprise to no one that they have also found time to partake in the League Cup, albeit only advancing to the semi-finals. A showing that's mirrored in the Scottish Cup, having secured their spot in the quarter-finals thus far.
The European attraction wasn't lost on them either. They have made frenzied attempts to juggle participation in both the Champions League Qualifiers, where they managed to reach the play-offs – a commendable effort for a team of their pedigree – and the Europa League where they have spent their time engaging in the league phase.
