List of Rangers F.C. seasons
Rangers Football Club was founded in 1872 and is one of the 11 original members of the Scottish Football League[1] and remained in the top division continuously until the liquidation of The Rangers Football Club PLC, at the end of the 2011–12 season, when the club was demoted to the fourth tier. The clubs home ground, Ibrox Stadium, is in the south-west of Glasgow, Scotland.
Rangers have won more domestic trophies than any other club in the world, winning the league title 55 times, the Scottish Cup 33 times and the Scottish League Cup 27 times, and achieving the treble of all three in the same season seven times. Rangers were the first British club to reach a UEFA tournament final and won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1972 after being runner-up twice in 1961 and 1967. A third runners-up finish in Europe came in the UEFA Cup in 2008.
The table details the club's achievements in all national and European first team competitions and the top scorers for each season.[2]
Overview
Although Rangers had been playing in the Scottish Cup since season 1874–75, being runners-up twice, they did not compete in an official league until 1890–91. In their very first season the club played eighteen championship matches, also a play-off which they drew and so shared the first ever league title with Dumbarton.
The Scottish League Cup did not begin until season 1946–47, Rangers won the inaugural competition by defeating Aberdeen 4–0 in the final. The 1956–57 season saw the club enter the European arena.
