In the annals of Scottish football, Rangers came into existence with the force of a fresh-faced loon skipping school. A sprightly age of 2012, as it were. The grand stage for their footballing theatrics? None other than Ibrox, a Scottish coliseum that's home to pie sellers, optimistic chants and precarious, nimble-footed pigeons.
Our plucky troop of Rangers have an estimated purse of round about...let's see now...£87m. According to our friends over at Transfermarkt, that's in pounds sterling, dear reader - not a lofty pile of rare doubloons or enchanted trinkets.
Now, Rangers are a merry flock of 29 footballing fellows. They're a spry bunch, too, boasting an average age of 24 years - the perfect blend of post-pubescent energy and pre-emptive balding.
This bountiful season, Rangers have had their fingers in quite a few pies. They're frolicking about in no fewer than four competitions. A tenth-place seat in the Premiership is their modest throne - they're playing it cool, no doubt. Further on, we can see the gleam of the League Cup quarter-finals, where the scent of halftime Bovril still lingers. Then there's the cosy nook of the Champions League qualifiers, staying snug in the play-offs. And, let's not forget their gallivanting in the Europa League. Busy bees, they are.
