In the merry land of Scotland lies the humble habitat of a football team called Rangers. The club, with all the wisdom and foresight of the ages, decided 2012 was a grand year to spring into existence. Their hallowed turf, fondly known as Ibrox Stadium, has served as the stage of many a spectacle since then.
However, in this cruel world where money is the universal language, Rangers has earned a somewhat decent dialect. Speaking in the tongue of cash, the combined market value of their playing squad sums up to around £87m, if you’re to believeTransfermarkt.
As one dives into the depths of the squad, you’ll find an assembly of 29 players - all miraculously maintaining an average age of 25. Now, isn’t that a statistic to behold?
The climax of this tale is the season at hand. Rangers, in what could only be described as a burst of sporting gluttony, have dipped their toes in no less than four competitions. The Premiership sees them comfortably nestled in a fourth place perch. The curtains have closed on their League Cup dreams with them making it but to the Semi-Finals. They graced us with their presence in the Champions League Qualifiers, only to bow out at the Play-Offs stage. And in Europa League, they're gallantly soldiering on at the League Phase. Decidedly a mixed bag, wouldn’t you agree?
