Formation and early years

The four founders of Rangers - brothers Moses and Peter McNeill, Peter Campbell and William McBeath - met in 1872 and named their team after an English rugby club upon seeing the name in a book.^[6] In May of that year the first match was played, a 0-0 draw in a friendly against Callander F.C. on the public pitches of Glasgow Green. The only other match played that year was another friendly against a team called Clyde (not the present-day Clyde FC) resulting in an 11-0 victory and featuring the debut of the club's blue strip.^[7] The official founding of Rangers is recognised as taking place in 1873, when the club held its first annual meeting and staff were elected. The first season's fixtures were all friendlies, as the deadline for joining the Scottish Football Association had been missed, meaning the team did not take part in the inaugural Scottish Cup.^[7] By 1876 Rangers had their first internationalist, with Moses McNeil representing Scotland in a match against Wales, and by 1877 Rangers had reached a Scottish Cup final. The first ever Old Firm match took place in 1888, the year of Celtic's establishment. Rangers lost 5-2 in a friendly to a team largely comprised of "guest players" from Hibernian.

The 1890-91 season saw the inception of the Scottish Football League, and Rangers were one of ten original members. By this time Rangers were playing at the first Ibrox Stadium. Rangers' first ever league match took place on August 16, 1890 and resulted in a 5-2 victory over Heart of Midlothian. After finishing equal-top with Dumbarton a play-off was held at Cathkin Park to decide the who would be champions. The match finished 2-2 and the title was shared for the only time in its history, the first of Rangers' world record 51 championships.^[7] Rangers' first ever Scottish Cup win came in 1894 after a 3-1 victory over rivals Celtic in the final. By the turn of the century Rangers had won two league titles and three Scottish Cups. The Scottish League was introduced to Scottish Football in 1890-1891 with ten teams competing. ...

The season started poorly for Rangers, with a number of losses and draws against teams lower in the league, as well as their being knocked out of the League Cup by Division One side St. Johnstone. Rivals Celtic built a lead at the top of the table, while Rangers fought for second place alongside Hearts and Aberdeen. As the season progressed, a number of more promising results were achieved, including wins over Hearts, Aberdeen and Hibernian. The first Old Firm match of the season resulted in a 2-0 defeat; the second - at Ibrox - was a 1-1 draw, after which Le Guen claimed Rangers deserved at least the point.^[8] The 2006-07 Scottish League Cup is the 60th staging of the Scotlands second most prestigious football knockout competition, also known for sponsorship reasons as the CIS Insurance Cup. ...

There had been rumours during the season of disharmony at Rangers, between Scottish and foreign units, with players including captain Barry Ferguson disapproving of Le Guen's strict disciplinarian stance.^[10] The imbalance came to a head on the day of the second Old Firm game of the season, with stories appearing in the Scottish media that Ferguson was angry with comments made by his manager regarding the captaincy of the club, and how Le Guen perceived it as more of an important role in Scotland than it is in France.^[11] On January 1, 2007, Le Guen stripped Ferguson of the captaincy, and after protests from a section of the fans at the away match at Motherwell the following day, it was announced on January 4 that Le Guen had left Rangers by mutual consent.^[12] Barry Ferguson MBE (born February 2, 1978 in Hamilton) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays in midfield. ... is the 1st day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Walter Smith's return (2007-present)

Following the departure of Paul Le Guen, a number of media sources report an "understanding" that the new management structure would consist of former Rangers manager Walter Smith and former player Ally McCoist, and the SFA confirmed that Rangers enquired about the availability of the pair.^[13] However, on January 8, the SFA rebuffed Rangers' approach for Smith.^[14] Walter Smith OBE (born February 24, 1948 in Lanark) is a Scottish former football player, but is better known as a football manager. ...

Rangers ended the season with no trophies for the second consecutive year, but Smith proved a steadying influence on the team, losing just twice in the league until the end of the season. He made ten signings and qualification for the Champions League group stage was secured after aggregate victories over the champions of the Montenegrin and Serbian leagues, FK Zeta and Red Star Belgrade respectively. Rangers were drawn in Group E, to play FC Barcelona, French champions Olympique Lyonnais and German champions VfB Stuttgart. The campaign started well for Rangers with two victories, 2-1 at home to Stuttgart and 3-0 against Lyon at the Stade Gerland as well as a 0-0 draw against Barcelona at Ibrox Stadium.One point in the last game against Olympique Lyonnais at Ibrox will send Rangers through.

Club colours and crest

The club colours of Rangers F.C. are royal blue, white and red. Royal blue is a lighter shade of blue. ...

The Rangers 'home strip' invariably features a royal blue shirt (often with white and/or red trim). Traditionally this is accompanied by white shorts (often with royal blue and/or red trim) and black socks with red turn-downs.^[16] However when wearing the 'home strip' Rangers will occasionally alter the shorts and socks, sometimes replacing the black socks with white ones; or replacing the white shorts and black socks combination with royal blue shorts and socks.

The basic design of Rangers away strips has changed far more than the traditional home strip. White and red have been the most common predominant colours for Rangers alternate strips, though dark and light blue have also featured highly.^[17]

In recent years, Rangers have also introduced a third kit.^[18] This is usually worn if both the home and away kits clash with their opponents. The colours used range from light blue to red to a very controvesial tangerine.^[19]

The Old Firm and sectarianism

The club's most distinct rivalry is with Celtic, the other major football club based in Glasgow; the two clubs are collectively known as the Old Firm. Rangers' traditional support has largely come from the Protestant Unionist community. Crowd at football match between Celtic F.C. and Rangers F.C. at Celtic Park. ...

During the late 19th century, many immigrants came to Glasgow from Ireland. This was around the same time that both Old Firm clubs were founded (Rangers in 1873 and Celtic in 1888). Rangers came to be identified with the Scottish Protestant community. Until Graeme Souness signed former Celtic player Mo Johnston, in 1989, Rangers were said by him to have had an "unwritten policy"^[21] of not signing any player who was Catholic;^[22] although Johnston was by no means the first Catholic to sign for the club,^[23] he was the first openly Catholic, high-profile player to sign for them since World War I.^[24] Immigration is the act of moving to or settling in another country or region, temporarily or permanently. ...

In recent times, both Rangers and Celtic have taken measures to combat sectarianism. Working alongside the Scottish Parliament, church groups, schools and community organisations, the Old Firm have made efforts to clamp down on sectarian songs, inflammatory flag-waving, and troublesome supporters, using increased levels of policing and surveillance.^[25] For the national legislative body up to 1707, see Parliament of Scotland. ...

On 12 April 2006, following an investigation into the conduct of Rangers supporters at both legs of their UEFA Champions League tie against Villarreal CF, the Control and Disciplinary Body of UEFA imposed a fine of £8,800 on Rangers following the improper conduct of some of their supporters, notably the smashing of a window of the Villarreal CF team bus at the second-leg match in Spain on 7 March.^[26] However, UEFA declared the Rangers fans not guilty of alleged discriminatory chants.^[26] UEFA challenged the ruling, and their Appeals Body partially upheld it,^[27] fining the Ibrox club £13,500 and warning them as to their responsibility for any future misconduct. is the 102nd day of the year (103rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

• The club were "ordered to announce measurable targets in order to reduce sectarian behaviour amongst its supporters".
• The club were "to control their anti-sectarian activities by producing comprehensive statistics that are communicated to the public".
• The club were "to make a public address announcement at every official fixture, be it international or domestic, stating that any sectarian chanting and any form of the song 'Billy Boys' is strictly prohibited".^[28]

Despite these measures, UEFA indicated that they will launch another investigation after Rangers fans clashed with riot police and were filmed making sectarian chants during the defeat by Osasuna in their UEFA Cup match in 2007. The Rangers Supporters Association secretary indicated his belief that a small minority of fans are to blame, suggesting "it doesn't matter how often they are told [to stop sectarian chanting], some people will just not listen."^[29] In September 2007, UEFA praised Rangers for the measures the club has taken against sectarianism.^[30] The Billy Boys is a loyalist song from Glasgow, sung to the tune of Marching Through Georgia. ...

The club used a variety of grounds in Glasgow as a venue for home matches in the years between 1872 and 1899. The first was Flesher's Haugh, situated on Glasgow Green, followed by Burnbank in the Kelvinbridge area of the city, and then Kinning Park for ten years from the mid-1870s to the mid-1880s. From February of the 1886-87 season, Cathkin Park was used until the first Ibrox Park, in the Govan area of south-west Glasgow, was inaugurated for the following season. Ibrox Stadium in its current incarnation was originally designed by the architect Archibald Leitch, a Rangers fan^[31] who also played a part in the design of, among others, Old Trafford in Manchester and Highbury in London.

Since 1899, two major disasters have taken place at the stadium. The first occurred in 1902 during a Scotland vs England international match, when a section of terracing collapsed, leading to the deaths of 26 people and over 500 injuries. The second disaster took place in 1971, during the traditional New Year's Day Old Firm match-up. As the crowd were leaving the match, barriers on the stairway to the rear of passageway 13 at the Copland End collapsed, causing a crush and resulting in the deaths of 66 people, with over 200 injuries. This led to a major redevelopment of Ibrox, overseen by the general manager Willie Waddell. After its conversion to an all-seater stadium, Ibrox was awarded UEFA five-star status.
