Rangers Football Club are a world famous football club from Glasgow, Scotland who currently play in the Scottish Premier League. Formed in 1873, Rangers have won 51 league titles, a world record, and have won more major trophies than any football club in the world. 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.

  • Rangers hold the world record for number of domestic league championships won, racking up 51 titles.
  • They hold the record for domestic trebles, with seven so far.
  • Rangers won their 100th major trophy in 2000, the first club in the world to reach that milestone.
  • Have competed in European competitions in more seasons than any other British club, 46 times as of and including 2006-07.
  • First Scottish club to qualify from both the Champions League group stage (2005-06) and the UEFA Cup group stage (2006-07).

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.

The club are nicknamed The Teddy Bears, from the rhyming slang for Gers, which in turn is short for Rangers, and the fans are known to each other as "Bluenoses". The club's correct name is simply Rangers F.C., although they are sometimes incorrectly referred to as Glasgow Rangers.
