Bless the hearts of those lovely folks down at Ibrox, who seem to have forgotten that their club, Rangers, in all its 'glory', was only founded in 2012. Not that any Celtic fan worth their salt would let them neglect that wee nugget, is it? They proudly stride onto the field at Ibrox Stadium, located in the heart of Scotland, with every home game being a delightful spectacle of mediocrity.
Perpetually living in their own wee bubble, the Rangers somehow managed to amass a playing squad with a total market value of around £102m, of all the absurd numbers, courtesy of Transfermarkt. I'd have a hearty chuckle if it wasn't so painfully sad.
And bless them again, for, despite being practically infants in the football world, they've managed to gather a squad of 29 players, with an average age of 24. It’s the footballing equivalent of a school trip, isn't it?
In this footie season, the Rangers've been toiling away gorily at 5 competitions. The Premiership (secured themselves a lovely 2nd place), the League Cup (gasping for breath in the semi-finals), the Scottish Cup (had the door shut on them in the quarter-finals), the Champions League qualifiers (struggled all the way to the play-offs), and the Europa League (barely made it to the league phase).
To be fair to them, I suppose for a club that's been around for less time than a pair of my socks, that’s not half-bad. Just mostly.
