Wow, look at that. Rangers Football Club, established in the nick of time in 2012, finds their nest comfortably nestled in the iconic and glorified Ibrox Stadium, right here in Scotland. I must say, there's just something rather heartwarming about a young club starting to feel at home.
If information pulled from the web by your fingertips is to be believed, according to our somewhat reliable friends at Transfermarkt, the bill for the Rangers' playing squad tips the scale at around a modest £89m. Well, nothing to be scoffed at for a club nipping at the heels of its first decade.
True to form, Rangers boast a squad of 30 players, presumably fit as fiddles and eager as beavers, with an average age of 24. The perfect cocktail of youthful enthusiasm and no small measure of inexperience. Positively brimming with potential, or so we're led to believe.
This season, Rangers are seen gallivanting about in 5 different competitions. Quite the ambitious lot, I give them that. Their knack for biting off more than they can chew has seen them clinching 2nd place in the Premiership and darting all the way to the semi-finals in the League Cup. Voices ring aloud of a quarter-final appearance in the Scottish Cup as well. For those with European ambitions, the Champions League Qualifiers saw them reaching the play-offs, and they even made it to the League Phase in the Europa League. Busy bees indeed. A hearty pat on the back to them.
