Rangers Football Club are an association football team based in Glasgow, Scotland, who currently play in the Scottish Premier League. They have won a world record 51 league titles, and have won more major trophies than any other football club in the world. The club are nicknamed the Teddy Bears, from the rhyming slang for Gers, which in turn is short for Rangers, and the fans are known to each other as "Bluenoses". The club's correct name is simply Rangers F.C., although they are sometimes referred to as Glasgow Rangers for European matches to avoid confusion. Rangers' players and fans today are multi-national and of various religions, although the club have traditionally been identified with and favoured the Protestant and Unionist community of Scotland, as well as the Ulster Unionist community in Northern Ireland. For most of their history, Rangers have enjoyed a fierce rivalry with their cross-city opponents Celtic, and the two are collectively known as the Old Firm. The club's home, the all-seated 51,082-capacity Ibrox Stadium in south-west Glasgow, is a five-star UEFA elite stadium. The stadium was the first in Scotland to be granted this accolade, which it now shares with Hampden Park, Scotland's national stadium. (via Wikipedia)
