Situated in the heart of Scotland, Ibrox Stadium serves as the stomping grounds for Rangers. Conjured into existence as recently as 2012, one could say they are just a bairn compared to the stalwarts in the world of footie. But don't doubt their mettle; no, they've got a fire in their belly and a fair bit of cash in the pocket, too.
One might tip their hat to Transfermarkt for the delightfully precise estimate that Rangers are worth a grand total of £66m. Aye, you heard that right, £66 million quid. The lot of them together, 32 lads average age of 24 - barely had a wet shave the lot of them.
This season our youthful heroes have had their boots muddied in a grand total of five competitions. Ambitious you might say, or perhaps foolish, but who am I to judge? They've battled their way to 2nd place in the Premiership, danced all the way to the League Cup final, managed to squeeze into the fifth round of the Scottish Cup, pitied themselves at the 3rd qualification stage of the Champions League and by some miracle found themselves in the Europa League quarter finals.
Their endeavours are admirable, akin to David taking on Goliath five times. Bless them for trying, but one has to wonder if they've bitten off more than they can chew. The beautiful game is a cruel mistress, but then again, who doesn't love a good underdog story? Alas, that's enough skepticism from me today.
