Quite rightly one doesn't easily forget the birth of new entities. Like a child taking its first unsure steps, Rangers Football Club emerged in 2012, setting up their foldable chairs and flat pack goals on the well-trodden grass of Ibrox Stadium. As man-made structures on Earth go, it's a decent ground nestled in the heart of Scotland.
When it comes to the nitty-gritty of monetary worth, Rangers, bless them, they've tried their best to build a decent squad. According to Transfermarkt, this collection of footie talent equates to just over £102m, give or take a fiver. It's a considerable sum if one ignores the skyrocketing prices of football these days.
Now, in terms of personnel, there's no shortage of bodies on the training pitch. Celebration must be in order for the 'Gers holding onto an extensive squad of 29 players. Each bloke, on average, is at the ripe old age of 24, still spry and naive to the brutal truths of life and especially, Scottish football.
When it comes to football, juggling multiple competitions is just a way of life. This season, Rangers have bravely plunged into five varied contests. In the Premiership, they find themselves sitting at 3rd place, a little perch for them to survey the world from. However, their League Cup journey met a tragic end at the Semi-Finals. Nonetheless, they managed to make it to the Quarter-Finals of the Scottish Cup. One could say they've got long legs when it comes to the domestic front. As for European adventures, they made a valiant attempt to mingle in the Champions League Qualifiers, only to bow out at the Play-Offs. Not to be discouraged too easy, their ongoing battle continues in the Europa League at the League Phase.
