The Resurgence of Rangers
View attachment 341356
View attachment 341356
In 2012, Rangers Football Club entered administration and, after failure to reach an agreement with their creditors, entered liquidation on the 14th June. The clubs business and assets, including Ibrox Stadium and Murray Park, were bought by Sevco Scotland Ltd, effectively creating a new club. An application to transfer the Scottish Premier League membership from the 'oldco' to the 'newco' was rejected on a 10–1 vote. As a result Rangers applied for associate membership to Scottish Football League, resulting in Rangers securing a place in the 4th tier of Scottish Football, division 3, for the 2012–13 season. And this is where our story begins...

As you can see the objective with Rangers is to achieve consecutive promotions back to the SPL, whilst winning the League Challenge Cup each year. It would be nice to win either the League Cup or the Scottish Cup within the first three years, but with a weakened team it seems unlikely.
After returning to the SPL I have given myself three years to regain the Premier League. In my first year I plan to achieve a top 4 finish, thus ensuring I have European football. In my second season I shall challenge for the title, hopefully winning the SPL, but at the very least coming 2nd. In my third season I shall regain the title. I also aim to win the Scottish Cup each year I am in the SP. This is because it guarantees European football and also because it is the prestigious cup competition in Scotland.
