History

Rangers Football Club (Plc) were founded in 1873 by, surprisingly, a group of Englishman. The current chairman of the football club is Sir David Murray. Murray has been with the club through thick and thin, and he was the man behind Rangers’ infamous nine in a row success. Despite this, he has come under serious scrutiny by a section of the loyal Rangers support. Rangers have been second best to their rivals across the city for several years, but the new management team are looking to avenge this with success in the following season.

Paul Le Guen

At the beginning of the season, Rangers fans were given hope of overturning their rivals when Rangers chairman Sir David Murray appointed highly-rated Frenchman Paul Le Guen to the helm at Ibrox. Nothing went right for Le Guen and his short reign ended with him earning the hatred of the Rangers support. Sir David Murray was left with no other option but to say ‘au revoir’ to the Frenchman after a falling out with club captain Barry Ferguson.

A New Regime


Walter decided to return home!

After the departure of Frenchman Paul Le Guen, Sir David Murray decided to revert to a tried-and-tested manager - Walter Smith. Murray had to negotiate with the Scottish Football Association in order to release Smith from his contract, and when he finally did, he received the adulation of the Rangers supporters.

Walter Smith came in - and he brought with him, former Rangers legend, Ally McCoist and, former Celtic coach, Kenny McDowall as his coaching staff. His first job was to ’sure’ up the defence. To do this, defensive trio Andy Webster, David Weir and Ugo Ehiogu were brought in from Wigan (on loan), Everton and Middlesbrough respectively.

Walter Smith was to save one big signing for the end of the respective transfer window. From under the noses of Old-Firm rivals Celtic, he managed to snatch Hibernian’s Kevin Thomson for a fair sum of around two million pounds.

The summer window so far has brought the Rangers careers of Dado Prso, Stefan Klos and Gavin Rae to an end - as all left at the end of their contracts, with Prso and Klos calling it a day on their career. Along with the expiration of these contracts, Karl Svensson has made his way to French Ligue 2 side Caen.

In order to bolster his squad for the coming season, Walter Smith has already brought Alan Gow, Jean-Claude Darcheville, Kirk Broadfoot, DaMarcus Beasley and Graeme Smith to the Ibrox club. In addition to this, Walter Smith has also managed to secure Andy Webster on loan for another period until January, in order for the FIFA ruling to be sorted out. Although Rangers have strengthened so far, they must still look to improve on their squad before their long and possibly arduous campaign.

Beasley - one of the new signings!

Rangers Secure Naismith Transfer

After long negotiations with fellow Clydesdale Bank Premier League side Kilmarnock, Rangers have finally managed to secure the signing of long-term transfer target Steven Naismith. BBC Sport Football understands that the twenty year-old has put pen to paper on four year deal.

Naismith began his career at Clydesdale Bank Premier League side Kilmarnock at the tender age of fifteen. He joined Kilmarnock’s youth academy and managed to break into the side in only his second season before becoming a fixture in what was proving to be a formidable Kilmarnock side.

The Scottish striker was subject to extreme interest from both halves of the Old-Firm and English clubs such as Bristol City and, the Old-Firms Edinburgh rivals, Hearts also joined the race for the highly-rated youngster. Many people were expecting Naismith to opt for Rangers, but the transfer fee was proving difficulty in what turned out to be a lucrative transfer for Kilmarnock.

The eventual fee agreed was believed to be around £1.5M. Rangers are believed to have paid around one million pounds up front, with the rest of the money coming in instalments over the coming year. When asked, Naismith was quick to express his determination to do well for the club:

Naismith “I came here because I love the club and I want to do well for Rangers. They were always my first choice if possible, and I was delighted to hear that the they had managed to agree terms with Kilmarnock. I can’t wait to get stuck into pre-season with all the lads that I look forward to meeting.”

Naismith becomes Walter Smiths’ sixth signing of the summer as the Scotsman looks to prepare his side for the coming season. Upon prompting, Smith expressed his delight at the capture of Naismith: Smith “I am delighted to have finally signed Steven. He is a great player and he has the right frame of mind to be a Rangers player.”

Meanwhile, Smith remained tight-lipped over possible signings, but he failed to rule anything out: Smith “It is true we are in the market for a few players but we are just waiting on a few bids to be either accepted or rejected and we will take it from there.” The rumours that are circulating around Ibrox are still suggesting the usual ‘suspects’ including Manchester United’s Alan Smith but the English striker’s price tag could rule him out for a move to Ibrox.

Naismith will be able to join up with former team-mate Kris Boyd upon his move!

Rangers Stars Told: Time’s Up

Four Rangers stars have been told that they have to find new clubs by Rangers manager Walter Smith. BBC Sport Football understands that the Scotsman held crunch talks with Sasa Papac, Ugo Ehiogu, Libor Sionko and Thomas Buffel.

Bosnian Sasa Papac joined the Ibrox club at the beginning of the Paul Le Guen era and he was one of three players that were brought in by the Frenchman from Austria Vienna. Papac cost Rangers nearly half a million pounds and they will be looking to redeem, if not that, more. This news may alert clubs such as Newcastle and Manchester City as they have recently expressed an interest in the twenty-six year-old.

****

Englishman Ugo Ehiogu was one of Walter Smith’s first signings when he returned to the blue-half of Glasgow, but the former Middlesbrough man has now been deemed surplus to requirements at Ibrox. The thirty-three year-old could be available for a fairly low fee of around two-hundred thousand pounds. Recently relegated Leeds could be the suitors for the massive Englishman who will always be remembered by Rangers fans for his overhead kick against their old-firm rivals.

****

Czech Republic international Libor Sionko, along with Papac, joined the club from Austrian side Austria Vienna. Sionko cost Rangers absolutely nothing when Paul Le Guen came to the club but Rangers could demand nearly two million pounds for the out-of-favour winger. But, according to reports only Sporting Lisbon from Portugal can meet Rangers’ valuation of the player.

****

Belgium international star Thomas Buffel has been at the Glasgow club since the time of, now Scotland manager, Alex McCleish. Buffel was bought for a hefty two and a half million pounds back in January of 2004 and Rangers will be looking to recoup their money for the goalscoring midfielder. Many clubs, including Premiership side Derby and French side Marseille, are said to be suited for the two million rated midfielder.

Buffel - One of four set to depart!

Whittaker Linked With Gers

Clydesdale Bank Premier League side Hibernian are tonight at risk of losing yet another of their star assets. So far this summer they have already lost Chris Killen and Scott Brown to Old-Firm side Celtic, which was accompanied with the departure of former captain Kevin Thomson to Celtics rivals Rangers.

The man in question this morning is Scottish under-21 international star Steven Whittaker. Their has been a recurring link with the Ibrox side and the full-back since Walter Smith took over and, according to the players agent, a deal could be close to completion.

Agent “Myself and Steven are currently in talks with Rangers. He has expressed an extreme interest in joining them and I am working hard to make this move happen for Steven. It has always been a dream for him to make such a big move and when the two clubs agree a fee, the player will move to Glasgow.”

Although Whittaker’s agent was quite happy to talk about a possible move for the twenty-two year-old full-back, the player himself declined to comment. Likewise the Hibernian management also declined to comment on the subject but Hibernian chairman Rod Petrie released this statement:

Petrie “We know nothing of any deal. Rangers have not been in contact and until they contact us, there is nothing to discuss. We do know of previous interest from Rangers for Steven, but that was back in January and nothing new has happened since. If Rangers are talking to the players agent, then we could have them done for ‘tapping’ our player, who is under contract. So, I believe that the agent is just trying to stir the speculation to make a ‘quick-buck’.”

Strong words from Hibernian chairman Rod Petrie point all roads towards the agent trying to mix the pot and get other clubs interested in his player. Although this may be true as BBC Sport Football understands that Rangers are about to table a bid of around one million pounds.

Whittaker could become a Rangers player within days!

One In The Door

Rangers manager Walter Smith has continued his summer transfer spree by bringing in English goalkeeper Lee Grant on a free transfer. BBC Sport Football understands that the former Derby man has signed a three year deal and he is set to be third in line for the number one shirt at Ibrox.

Rangers currently have Allan McGregor and Graeme Smith on their books for the goalkeeping spot but manager Walter Smith clearly felt that they need extra reinforcement in this area. Twenty-three year-old Grant was available on a free transfer after his release by Derby in the summer.

The former under-21 international spent most of last season on loan at League One side Oldham before returning for pre-season training with the newly promoted Premiership club. Scottish manager Billy Davies then had crunch talks with the player and he was relieved of his contract early last week.

The Englishman, who made a total of sixty-seven league appearances for the Rams, expressed his delight at joining such a big club: “To be honest, I am quite shocked that I have been given this chance. I was contacted by Martin Bain and then we arranged talks with the gaffer and after speaking to him for around half an hour, I only had one destination in my mind.”

Lee Grant becomes Walter Smith’s seventh summer signing as he looks to prepare his squad for what should be a gruelling season forthcoming. Meanwhile, Thomas Buffel could be heading to Grant’s old club, Derby, after Rangers agreed a two-point-six million pound deal with the newly promoted Premiership side.

Grant will be third in line for the number '1' spot at Ibrox!

Gers’ Activity Continues

Rangers manager Walter Smith has today continued his raid on the transfer market by agreeing deals to sign three players. BBC Sport Football understands that David Unsworth, Stephen Jordan and Lee Martin have all agreed terms to join the Ibrox club.

Former Wigan and, probably more memorable, Everton player David Unsworth has put pen to paper on a two year deal. The thirty-two year-old had been available on a free transfer since his contract expired at Premiership side Wigan and the capped internationalist expressed his delight at signing for the former champions of Scotland:

Unsworth “I’m delighted at making the move to Glasgow. I expected some offers but when Rangers came in for me, all the other offers seemed nominal to me. I would like to thank my agent for making this deal happen and I would also like to express my desire to do well for the club.”

Recently departed Manchester City full-back Stephen Jordan was next to be unveiled at a meeting with the press this afternoon. The twenty-four year-old Englishman has signed a four year deal with the Ibrox club. Walter Smith expressed that the signing of two predominantly left-backs would not hinder the chances of Steven Smith breaking back into the first-team when he returns from injury.

The final signing of the day to be unveiled was Manchester United winger Lee Martin. The nineteen year-old has joined the Ibrox club on loan and he seemed delighted to have rejoined the club with whom he had limited success: “I can’t believe I have been given another shot here. I thought I had had my chance when I left in January, so to come back is really pleasing.”

Unsworth, Jordan and Martin become Rangers’ eighth, ninth and tenth signings of the summer. Walter Smith said after the press conference that he is still on the lookout for new faces and he believes that he will secure at least one ’major’ signing this summer.

Unsworth. Jordan and Martin (loan) have all agreed to join the Gers!

Leeds Secure Ehiogu

Leeds United have today completed the signing of Rangers’ experienced central defender Ugo Ehiogu. BBC Sport Football understands that the tall Englishman has signed a two year deal at Elland Road and he becomes manager Dennis Wises third signing of the summer.

The former Middlesbrough man has joined the former European heavyweights for around a quarter of a million pounds and he was delighted at finding a club after being told that he was not needed by the Glasgow club:

Ehiogu “I’m delighted to have joined such a massive club. They have been in a bit of trouble with relegations recently but they have a massive amount of potential. I am here to do well for Leeds and to try and help them back into the second tier of English football.”

Ehiogu follows David Thompson and Robbie Winters and this looks to continue a new and exciting era for Leeds fans as they try and rebuild for their promotion push ahead. Meanwhile, north of the border, Rangers have agreed a fee of around five-hundred thousand pounds with Ajax and AZ, among others, for Bosnian central defender Sasa Papac.

Ehiogu will provide much needed strength in the backline for Dennis Wise!

One In, One Out

Rangers manager Walter Smith has confirmed the signing of one player and also the departure of another. BBC Sport Football understands that Rangers have brought in Neil McGregor and Czech Republic winger Libor Sionko has departed the club, and BBC Sport Football can also bring you the exclusive squad numbers list for the coming season at Ibrox.

Now former Clyde man, Neil McGregor has headed to Ibrox from their rivals across the city. The twenty year-old Scottish defender has cost the Ibrox club a nominal fee of around thirty-thousand pounds. The former Kilmarnock man has signed a four year deal.

Czech Republic international Libor Sionko has been shipped off to Portuguese first division side Sporting Lisbon for a fee believed to be around one million pounds. The Czech winger was one of the players who Walter Smith had crunch talks with earlier in the month and the Ibrox club have finally found a suitor for Sionko. He has signed a three year deal in Portugal.

McGregor - In, Sionko - Out

Porto Secure Buffel Move

Rangers midfielder Thomas Buffel has completed his move to Portuguese side Porto. He follows former team-mate Libor Sionko to Portugal and he could be facing up towards his former friend. BBC Sport Football understands that the Belgium international has signed a four year deal.

Meanwhile, Rangers are on the verge of securing a shock move for former Liverpool striker, and self-proclaimed ’blue-nose’, Robbie Fowler. BBC Sport Football understands that the experienced Englishman is close to securing a lucrative three year deal.

But, this move could be scuppered when Rangers complete the signing of Chelsea wonder-kid Scott Sinclair. The seventeen year-old Englishman is believed to be in Glasgow speaking to Walter Smith today and a deal could be thrashed out by the end of the coming week.

Belgian Buffel is headed to Portugal!

Rangers Swoop Again

Rangers manager Walter Smith has today completed the signing of one player, and in the process he has managed to offload another. BBC Sport Football understands that Rangers have secured the signing of Aberdeen youngster Ricky Foster and they have managed to sell Bosnian Sasa Papac.

Twenty year-old Ricky Foster has joined from Rangers’ fierce rivals Aberdeen for a fee of one-hundred-thousand pounds. The Scottish under-21 international has signed a three year deal with the former Scottish champions and when asked he was not bothered about the reception he will receive when he returns to Aberdeen with Rangers:

Foster “Well, you have to expect this anytime you move onto another club. The rivalry between Rangers and Aberdeen is not as fierce as it used to be, but I am completely delighted at my move to Glasgow. I am sure I can be a big success here at Rangers and I can’t wait to attempt to break into the first-team set-up.”

Bosnian defender Sasa Papac is Italy-bound after agreeing terms on a four year deal to join Serie ’A’ side Palermo. The Bosnian international has bagged his now former club Rangers a sum ranging above six-hundred thousand pounds. Foster becomes Walter Smith’s eleventh signing of the summer and Papac becomes the fifth player to depart since the trio that departed at the end of the summer. (Rae, Klos, Prso)

Foster has signed on the dotted line at Ibrox!

Rangers Secure Promising Duo

Rangers manager Walter Smith has managed to secure two of the hottest prospects in football and in the process has spent around two and a half million pounds. According to the Official Rangers website, Dundee United midfielder Greg Cameron and Chelsea striker Scott Sinclair have joined up with the squad just days before the start of the new season.

Dundee United midfielder Greg Cameron has joined on a three year deal for around half a million pounds and he has expressed his delight at his move to Glasgow: “I’m delighted to have made this move to Glasgow. The facilities here at Murray Park are great and I am really looking forward to meeting up with the lads and getting the season started.”

Chelsea’s seventeen year-old striker Scott Sinclair has also joined and he has put pen to paper on a three year deal. The Englishman is one of the hottest prospects in football and the Rangers fans will be delighted at his capture. The former Bristol Rovers man has cost Rangers around two million pounds but he may have to wait for his opportunity in the first team.

Cameron and Sinclair become Walter Smiths’ twelfth and thirteenth signing of the summer and Rangers are beginning to shape-up like real championship challengers. Meanwhile Rangers have been drawn against Lithuanian side Ekranas in the second qualifying round of the Champions League. The first leg is in three days at Ibrox Stadium.

Former Plymouth loanee, Sinclair has secured his £2 million move to Glasgow!

UEFA Champions League
2nd Qualifying Round
1st Leg
Rangers v Ekranas

Rangers Line-Up:

1. Allan McGregor
2. Alan Hutton
16. Stephen Jordan
22. Andy Webster
20. Kirk Broadfoot
19. DaMarcus Beasley (<Cameron 59)
11. Charlie Adam
6. Barry Ferguson ©
8. Kevin Thomson
9. Kris Boyd (<Sinclair 46)
14. Steven Naismith (<Sebo 48)

Match Action

Rangers dominated the game early on. Their first chance came after only two minutes when debutant Stephen Jordan played the ball into the box from the left-wing. Fellow debutant Steven Naismith should have scored when he was presented the ball straight to his feet inside the six-yard box, but he couldn’t manage to give Rangers the lead.

Misfiring Rangers players were beginning to unsettle their supporters. Kris Boyd was the most guilty of wasting chances as he was played through several times by dynamic midfield paring Barry Ferguson and Kevin Thomson, and the clinical striker failed on all accounts to give Rangers the lead.

Rangers manager Walter Smith and his management team were dealt a major blow early in the second half when Steven Naismith was injured when going in for a tackle with one of the Ekranas players. Naismith was treated but he eventually had to be subbed and Slovakian Filip Sebo replaced him.

Rangers fans were not too be disappointed for too much longer because substitute Filip Sebo came up with the goods, to give Rangers the lead. Good play by Stephen Jordan saw the English full-back play in Sebo, who with the upmost composure, stroked the ball by the Lithuanian ‘keeper. 1-0, Rangers - Sebo (68)

Match Reaction

This was a good win for Rangers and they played well and therefore thoroughly deserved their one-nil victory. In truth, they should have converted many more chances than they did but it was good to see Filip Sebo finally endearing himself to the Rangers supporters. He played well after coming off the bench and fully deserved his goal. I am confident that Rangers will now kick-on and propel themselves through to the third qualifying round.

Sebo celebrates with his team-mates after his goal!


Rangers 1-0 Ekranas
Sebo (68)

Although, contrary to these reports, Newcastle could be set to win the race for the highly-rated under-21 internationalist. (Daily Star)

If Rangers miss out on Wallace, they could be set to renew their interest for Hibernian defender Steven Whittaker who could cost the Ibrox club around two and a half million pounds. (Daily Record)

But, according to many sources, Rangers will not be moving for either of these players and they are in talks with Aston Villa who are ready to cash in on youngster Craig Gardner. (Daily Mirror)

Clydesdale Bank Premier League
Aberdeen v Rangers

Rangers Line-Up:

1. Allan McGregor
2. Alan Hutton
16. Stephen Jordan
22. Andy Webster
20. Kirk Broadfoot
30. Alan Gow (<Martin 66)
11. Charlie Adam
6. Barry Ferguson ©
8. Kevin Thomson
9. Kris Boyd
25. Scott Sinclair (<Sebo 66)

Match Action

Aberdeen’s new signing Jeffrey De Visscher was on song for the northerners as rivals’ Rangers, looked to shake off the shackles of their midweek victory in the second qualifying stage of the Champions League. De Visscher was at the centre of chances and he was the man to set up team-mate Chris Clark who failed to find the back of the net with his wayward effort.

The massive Rangers’ away support were sent into raptures when their team grabbed the opener. Aberdeen’s Darren Mackie brought down Alan Gow on the right-hand side. The resulting free-kick led to Scottish under-21 star Charlie Adam grabbing the opener with a stunning header from the periphery of the eighteen yard area to fire the Gers into the lead. 0-1, Rangers - Adam (60)

Rangers’ jubilation was not long-lived as they were pegged back only five minutes after taking the lead. Darren Mackie was the creator as he drove from his own half to set up the chance for former Hearts player Lee Miller. The Scotsman then drove the ball past fellow Scot, ‘keeper McGregor to fire the Aberdonians back into the match. 1-1, Aberdeen - Miller (65)

But, Aberdeen were soon to feel the wrath of a formerly disappointing player. For the second game running, Slovakian striker Filip Sebo fired into the back of the net. Alan Hutton was the creator, the Scotsman sent the ball over to internationalist Sebo, who sent the ball screaming past Aberdeen ‘keeper Jamie Langfield. 1-2, Rangers - Sebo (76)

Match Reaction

This slender win for the Gers means that they now have a one hundred percent record for the new season as they look to challenge champions Celtic. Scotsman Charlie Adam has claimed today’s man of the match award and the under-21 star truly deserved it as he grabbed the opener to set Rangers on their way to their three points today.

Adam was on top form for the Gers' tonight!

Aberdeen 1-2 Rangers

Miller (65) - Adam (60) & Sebo (76)

Good story mate, but I think you will find out that Lee Miller is a fellow Scot. He was born in Lanarkshire.

Sorry for being pedantic though.
