Out with the Old & In with the Youth.
View attachment 66691
*After a failed season and uninterest to this years game, I have decided to use youth only and will play all my youth players and players aged 21 and younger only from the beginning, Any player at the club that is 21 and under just now can play until they are 30 if they like however I cannot bring in anyone over 21 to play for the club*
*I signed a left back before i decided this rule and I am using a 23 year old this is a one off as I got rid of my 21 year old left back loanee Declan John.*

The background
Rangers Football Club are a team based in Glasgow, Scotland, which plays in the Scottish Premiership, the first tier of the Scottish Professional Football League. Their home ground, Ibrox Stadium, is in the south-west of the city. Rangers have won more league titles and trebles than any other club in the world, winning the league title 54 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. Rangers have a long-standing rivalry with Celtic, the two Glasgow clubs being collectively known as the Old Firm. Founded in 1872, Rangers were one of the eleven original members of the Scottish Football League and remained in the top division continuously until the liquidation of The Rangers Football Club PLC at the end of the 2011–12 season. With a new corporate identity, the club gained admittance to the fourth tier of Scottish league football in time for the start of the following season, and were promoted three times in four years to return to the top flight where they will face off with a rampant Celtic team that are on a quest for the ever elusive 10 in a row.

The club used a variety of grounds in Glasgow as a venue for home matches in the years between 1872 and 1899. The first was Flesher's Haugh, situated on Glasgow Green, followed by Burnbank in the Kelvinbridge area of the city, and then Kinning Park for ten years from the mid-1870s to the mid-1880s. From February of the 1886–87 season, Cathkin Park was used until the first Ibrox Park, in the Ibrox area of south-west Glasgow, was inaugurated for the following season. Ibrox Stadium in its current incarnation was originally designed by the architect Archibald Leitch, a Rangers fan who also played a part in the design of, among others, Old Trafford in Manchester and Highbury in London. The stadium was inaugurated on 30 December 1899, and Rangers defeated Hearts 3–1 in the first match held there. Rangers' training facility is located in Auchenhowie, Glasgow. The facility is known as Murray Park after former chairman and owner Sir David Murray. It was proposed by then-manager **** Advocaat upon his arrival at the club in 1998. It was completed in 2001 at a cost of £14 million. Murray Park was the first purpose-built facility of its kind in Scotland, and incorporates features including nine football pitches, a state of the art gym, a hydrotherapy pool, and a video-editing suite. Rangers' youth teams are also accommodated at Murray Park, with around 140 players between under-10 and under-19 age groups using the training centre. Various first-team players have come through the ranks at Murray Park, including Alan Hutton, Allan McGreggor, Chris Burke, Stevie Smith, John Fleck, Danny Wilson and Charlie Adam.
Expectations
The league expectations here are unrealistic, Despite this being a game Celtic are financial stronger and have a built squad which has improved year on year, The Scottish Cup final is expected which is realistic as we are the 2nd strongest in the league and should be able to reach the final and hope Celtic get knocked out along the way.
To reach the group stage of the Europa is tricky as we need to play a number of qualifiers including 1 potentially tricky match against a number of big clubs, Time will tell if it is possible or if the board deem the campaign a success or not.
