Rangers have won honours both domestically and in European cup competitions. They have won the Scottish League Championship a record 55 times and the Scottish League Cup a record 27 times. In their first league season, 1890–91, they won the Scottish Football league jointly with Dumbarton and their most recent success came in the 2010–11 Scottish Premier League.
Tours of the stadium are available - see the official Rangers website for details.
No one who witnessed Rangers’ 2nd treble in 3 seasons when we defeated Aberdeen 2-1 in the Scottish Cup Final at Hampden would believe that the man hugged and congratulated by Jock Wallace would be invited to replace Wallace as manager of Rangers. There are many rumours circulating as to why Jock Wallace left Rangers in 1978 but to say it was a shock would be an understatement. Jock Wallace epitomised Rangers and was a very successful and shrewd coach/manager. His departure left a gaping void and the board hoped that John Greig would be the man to fill this void.
The question I ask myself most often when thinking off, or discussing John Greig is, is he deserving of the title ‘Greatest Ever Ranger’? This title was bestowed on Greig, by us, the fans. We voted for him as the Greatest Ever Ranger and all the attributes are there. His dedication and love of Rangers is undeniable. We were the only club that we ever played for. He won a remarkable three trebles with Rangers (the club has won seven in our illustrious history), his appearances speak for themselves and listening to fans from the generation before mine, Greig was Rangers during his dark days of Celtic domination.
From hooped shirts and socks (yes, hoops!), to white shirts, to light blue tops, to different sponsors and badges; all data available on the strip is available from Dave Moor at the excellent Historical Kits. A huge thanks to his website for taking the time and effort to painstakingly reproduce each kit from our history.
The name of Archibald Leitch might not be well known to many fans but if ever a man who was not a footballer deserves his name on the Ibrox Hall of Fame it's he. Born in Glasgow, Leitch became football clubs' stadium architect of choice. His stands and terraces could be found at every major ground in the country. Millions of fans stood on and loved the terraces that he created - Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Fulham and many more all had Archie to thank; for it was him that designed and constructed their footballing homes.
Glasgow Rangers' European Cup-Winners' Cup victory on 24 May 1972, when they defeated Moscow Dynamo 3-2, felt like it had been a long time coming. It was the Light Blues' 14th campaign in European football, stretching back to a European Cup match against Nice at Ibrox on 24 October 1956. Highlights of the match can be viewed in this article.
