Welcome to the Rangers Loyal Site this is an unofficial Rangers
site made for the fans by a fan. I'm the webmaster of this site
and I'm called James I Live in Scotland, the home of Glasgow
Rangers. I try to attend all the Rangers games I can as I love
to see them play, if I can't watch them at Ibrox I'll follow
them by TV or Radio. I hope you enjoy your experience here and
don't forget to sign the guestbook before you leave. Also check
out the jokes and funnies for some light hearted humour but
don't enter here if you are easily offended.
How We became Rangers
It
all started in 1872 with two brothers, Peter and Moses McNeil,
and two friends, Peter Campbell and William McBeath. who called
the club Argyle. Rangers came from an English rugby club.
Rangers Foundation Year was 1873
A little History
Glasgow Rangers was
established in 1873, fifteen years before the foundation of its
great rival Glasgow Celtic. For the last 125 years these two
clubs have dominated the Scottish game, with Rangers winning
more than 70 domestic honours. Rangers also won the European Cup
Winners’ Cup back in 1972 beating Dynamo Moscow in a thrilling
3-2 victory. In recent years Rangers’ status as one of the
largest clubs in Britain has enabled it to create a team of
international stars. In a city obsessed with football there is a
large supporter base with approximately 36,500 season ticket
holders. Outside Glasgow, Rangers is extremely popular with over
700 fan clubs worldwide. This means that the club can easily
fill its famous Ibrox stadium and has substantial potential in
merchandising and television revenues. Rangers consistently
qualifies for European competitions, has one of the best grounds
in the world and is creating a youth policy based around a state
of the art player development centre.
