In the colourful tapestry of Scottish football, a relatively new player has emerged. Formed in the energetic and hopeful year of 2012, Rangers Football Club opted for Ibrox Stadium as their fortress. Presumably because the changing rooms have decent showers, or something equally fascinating.
This staggering behemoth of a squad, with a commodification value somewhat near the region of £67m, claims its place in the market. A figure, by the way, that is derived from the estimations of Transfermarkt. Yes, that Transfermarkt, renowned for their astute and deft understanding of a player's value based on his knack for kicking a ball around a patch of grass.
A squad is hardly a bunch without numbers though, and Rangers have a tribe of around 32 souls. Ambitiously young too, with an average age of about 24, so presumably their kiddy training wheels are off by now.
This season, even in their embryo phase, Rangers have attempted to juggle four competitions – simultaneously, I should add. They're currently second place holders in the Premiership, presumably flushed with pride. Alongside, they've shouldered their way into the fifth round of the Scottish Cup. Then there's the Champions League qualifiers, where they managed to snag a spot in the 3rd Qualifying round. Wait, we're not done yet. The Europa League also entertained them until the Quarter Finals. Now, isn't that as thrilling as your grandma's knitting circle?
