Let's spin the yarn of the lads in blue, otherwise known as Rangers Football Club, or 'The Teddy Bears' to those who hold them dear. Their journey began, not too long ago shall we say, in the mythic year of 2012. Not quite the days of William Wallace, but still rich in Scottish history none the less (for some). You'll find these chaps showing off their footy skills at the formidable Ibrox Stadium, a true jewel in the Scottish football landscape.
Now, if we're to believe our friends over at Transfermarkt (Because why wouldn't we?), their merry band of players has a combined market worth somewhere in the region of £101m. A snip of a price to assemble the football equivalent of the Avengers. Apparently they did have a billionaire owner for a hot minute and all. Still wondering where that money ended up...
Their juggernaut of a squad clocks in at 28 players, each one with an average age of 24. That's right, 24. While some are toddling off making terrible life decisions (we've all been there), these lads are running around a football pitch. Good on them.
This season, our dedicated band of brothers, not to be confused with any other fraternities, have graced the hallowed turf in five competitions. Let's see, there's the Premiership where they're currently sitting pretty in 1st place. Then there's the League Cup, where they made it as far as the Semi-Finals (no easy feat, mind you). The Scottish Cup saw them reach the Quarter-Finals. And let's not forget their gallant efforts in the Champions League Qualifiers, where they made it to the Play-Offs. Oh, and because they really don't like down time, they are also participating in the Europa League. A true testament to their relentless pursuit of glory and the occasional half-time pie.
