Rangers F.C.

Founded in March 1872 by four teenage boys—Moses McNeil, Peter McNeil, Peter Campbell, and William McBeath—in Glasgow, Rangers Football Club is one of the world's most successful teams, playing at the historic Ibrox Stadium. The club has won a record 55 Scottish league titles, 34 Scottish Cups, and the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1972, cementing its status as a global powerhouse. Rangers share a fierce, historically sectarian rivalry with Celtic—the "Old Firm"—and boast a massive fanbase, once drawing an estimated 200,000 supporters to Manchester for the 2008 UEFA Cup final. After a severe financial crisis in 2012 forced the club into liquidation and demotion to the fourth tier, Rangers remarkably climbed back to the top flight by 2016. In 2021, they clinched their 55th championship, stopping rivals Celtic's quest for ten in a row and setting a world record for league wins.
