Rangers were the first club in the world to win more than 50 league titles. They are also the most-honoured football club in the world, having won 107 trophies in total.

The club's home, the all-seated 51,082-capacity Ibrox Stadium in south-west Glasgow, has been accredited as one of UEFA's five-star stadia. The stadium was the first one in Scotland to be granted this accolade, although it now shares the rating with Hampden Park, Scotland's national stadium.
Rangers' players and fans today are multi-national and of various religions, although the club have traditionally been identified with and favoured the Protestant Unionist community of Scotland. For most of their history, Rangers have enjoyed a fierce rivalry with their cross-city opponents Celtic.
