Rangers Football Club are a football club from Glasgow, Scotland who currently play in the Scottish Premier League. Rangers have won 51 league titles, a world record, and have won more major trophies than any football club in the world.
The club's home, the all-seated 51,082-capacity Ibrox Stadium in south-west Glasgow, has been accredited as one of UEFA's five-star stadia. The stadium was the first one in Scotland to be granted this accolade, although it now shares the rating with Hampden Park, Scotland's national stadium.
Rangers' players and fans today are multi-national and of various religions, although the club have traditionally been identified with and favoured the Protestant Unionist community of Scotland. For most of their history, Rangers have enjoyed a fierce rivalry with their cross-city opponents Celtic.
The club are nicknamed The Teddy Bears, from the rhyming slang for Gers, which in turn is short for Rangers, and the fans are known to each other as "Bluenoses". The club's correct name is simply Rangers F.C., although they are sometimes referred to as Glasgow Rangers

* Equalled Celtic's record of nine championships in a row (commonly known as "9-in-a-row")
Keepers are both stable if unspectacular
Hutton and Papac are ok and fairly consistent.
DCs are a problem and no combination seems to be good so far. Cuellar and Webster are the best of a poor lot and I think at least 1 DC is required
Fergie is fine at MC and Beasley is good at ML but MR is a problem- tries Burke, Novo, Whittaker and so far Naismith is best.
The forwards have made a lot of chances and cant score if they tried- JCD is particularly wasteful altho McCulloch can do a job as your left striker.
Best buy to date is a Finnish AML/ST called Aaritalo who is a steal at 50-100k. Havent managed to get a quality DC yet.
Forgot to mention that so far have been fairly strong domestically but keep getting thumped in Europe altho qualifying for the CL group stages each time.

Fraz - Agree on keepers and defence. Hutton and Papac were very consistent on my games however.
Burke seemed to do best for me at MR and Whittaker/Novo were no good. Ferguson got sent off a good few times for me, apart from that was very good. :thup:
Beasley at ML was OK, McCulloch ranged from crap to very good but I never really gave him a chance up front.
JCD did great for me, probably my best player.
He scored plenty, Boyd scored a good few and Cousin/Naismith didn't contribute too much.
