Oh, the Rangers. A delightful little team founded in the spring of 2012 on the misty moors of Scotland. Home for this troupe of sporting enthusiasts is none other than the Ibrox Stadium, a monument to football in its simplest form. Charming, really.
According to the financial wizards over at Transfermarkt, the market value of the Rangers' players come to a grand total of an awe-inspiring £66m. Might not get you a penthouse in London, but it would buy a whole lot of haggis.
The squad itself is a herd of 32 blokes, with an average age of 24. "What's the collective noun for footballers?" I hear you say, and I'd suggest a 'shinpad' of players. Rolls off the tongue, don't you think?
As befitting their buoyant market value, Rangers have been gallivanting around various competitions this season, with varying degrees of success. A somewhat humble 2nd place in the Premiership and a sparkly runners up spot in the League Cup. They checked out at the Fifth Round of Scottish Cup - perhaps stopping to admire the half-time pies - and made it to the third round of the illustrious Champions League Qualifiers. Last we checked, they were scampering around the Quarter Finals stage of the Europa League. Quite the busy bees, aren't they?
