Lo and behold, the Rangers, a club in mere infancy having been birthed but a short spell ago in 2012. It's almost charming that they've managed to settle into Ibrox Stadium with such ease, a Scot through and through.
The value of this fledgeling's playing squad is touted to our ears at an estimated £87m, or so Transfermarkt suggests. Not that one should afford much credence to the value touted about on that illustrious platform. After all, if money was the answer, then every club with a wealthy benefactor would hoist silverware every season.
The squad comprises 29 young lads of an average age of 25, warmed up and readily kicking the ball around. A bunch of sprightly whippersnappers, if you will.
Speaking of this season, it finds Rangers dabbling in the Premiership, occupying the rather unceremonious 4th place. Their involvement in the League Cup saw them gallantly, although without ultimate success, make it as far as the Semi-Finals. As for the Scottish Cup, they elicited repressed yawns, exiting stage left in the Fourth Round. The Champions League Qualifiers allowed them a taste of the Play-Offs and kudos to them for securing a place in the Europa League's League Phase. A trove of achievements or a record of moderate successes? That rather depends on the angle one chooses to take, I suppose.
