Below you can find just some of the sources we used for the archive (or for our general knowledge for many of the main site articles). Many thanks especially go to Chic Sharp for his legendary spreadsheet and all the knowledgeable bears who have contacted me with information. Thanks to those bears who go to the time and trouble to upload video footage of important matches to Youtube (and to the copyright holders who may overlook such an essential service).
Rangers have won honours both domestically and in European cup competitions. They have won the Scottish League Championship a record 55 times and the Scottish League Cup a record 27 times. In their first league season, 1890–91, they won the Scottish Football league jointly with Dumbarton and their most recent success came in the 2010–11 Scottish Premier League.
Since 1978 when Rangers signed a deal with Umbro they have had a specific kit manufacturer and since 1984 have had a kit sponsor. The following tables detail Rangers' shirt sponsors and kit suppliers by year.
Below is listed every Scottish league top goalscorer since the Scottish League formally began in 1890. Rangers players are listed in bold.
Glasgow Rangers' European Cup-Winners' Cup victory on 24 May 1972, when they defeated Moscow Dynamo 3-2, felt like it had been a long time coming. It was the Light Blues' 14th campaign in European football, stretching back to a European Cup match against Nice at Ibrox on 24 October 1956. Highlights of the match can be viewed in this article.
Below you can find a selection of data on the thousands of players who have worn the famous Rangers shirt.
From every corner of the world have come visitors to Ibrox Stadium, eager to see the home of The Rangers Football Club. Every week during the season you will find a constant stream of people from every walk of life on the weekly pilgrimage. And when their tour of inspection is over, you will, I have no doubt, hear them say: "It is truly a wonderful stadium - and wasn't the Trophy Room just terrific."
From hooped shirts and socks (yes, hoops!), to white shirts, to light blue tops, to different sponsors and badges; all data available on the strip is available from Dave Moor at the excellent Historical Kits. A huge thanks to his website for taking the time and effort to painstakingly reproduce each kit from our history.
