Why, it seems only yesterday...but no, apparently Rangers were founded in 2012 and fill the hallowed ground of Ibrox Stadium with their antics. Found on the maps as somewhere in Scotland, would you believe?
Apparently, the collection of characters they've assembled, allegedly, to play football, sits around a laughable value of £66m - a figure we'd only swallow from a reputable source like Transfermarkt. Why, a punch-line in itself!
This comedy troupe boasts a gaggle of 32, with an average age of 24. An indication, perhaps, of promising careers in stand-up if the football doesn't pan out? Only time will tell.
This year, amidst the mirth and merriment, they've found time to compete in 5 competitions of varying prestige. Remember the Premiership? They're apparently sitting pretty in 2nd. Knocked up a storm in the League Cup to the point of a Final, tripped up in the Scottish Cup at the Fifth Round, muddled through the Champions League Qualifiers to a humble end at the 3rd Qual and scrapped to the Europa League Quarter Finals. Cheerful distractions, no doubt, from the grim reality of the Scottish football scene.
