Rangers F.C.
Hi guys, I'm going to write about Rangers F.C. today. Please keep reading even if you don't like Rangers F.C., hope you enjoy.
Rangers Football Club are an association football team based in Glasgow, Scotland, who currently play in the Scottish Professional Football League, in Scottish League One. They have won 54 league titles, a world record, plus the Scottish Third Division and have won more major trophies than any football club in the world. The club are named " 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 Rangers F.C., although they are referred to Glasgow Rangers for European matches to avoid
confusion.
For most history, Rangers have enjoyed a fierce rivalry with their cross-city opponents Celtic, and the two are collectively know as the " Old Firm".
The club's home, the all-seated 50,987-captivity Ibrox Stadium in southwest 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, which it now shares with Hampden Park, Scotland's national stadium.
In February 2012, Rangers entered administration because of a problem with tax with HM Revenue and Customs. On 14 June 2012 the club was forced into liquidation following the rejection of a proposed Company Voluntary Arrangement, and the club's assets, including Ibrox Stadium and Murray
Park, were brought by The Rangers Football Club Ltd - a consortium led by
Charles Green, a former chief executive of Sheffield United. The club applied to register with the Scottish Football Association and to participate in the Scottish Premier League. The new company's application to join the SPL was
rejected in a vote by the other members of the league. In a separate vote by members of the Scottish Football League, they were invited to play in the Third Division of the Scottish Football League structure.
