History Of Rangers F.C.
Rangers F.C.,formed in 1872, was the first, and only, club in the world to win more than 50 national league titles. The club is also the most honoured in the world having won 115 trophies in total. Over its 140 years history, Rangers have only been managed by thirteen different men.
This article tells the story of the club from its beginnings to the European Cup Winners Cup success, the 1902 and 1971 Ibrox disasters, the Nine in a Row league championship wins, and the collapse and insolvency following gross financial mismanagement. The history is divided into sections regarding the manager of the club rather than sections of major events. There are some overlaps between managers tenures, namely the Nine in a Row success which began with Graeme Souness and continued under Walter Smith.
