One of the founders suggested the name Rangers after seeing the name in a book about English rugby. Traditionally supported by the Protestant community of Scotland. The Glasgow derby between Celtic and Rangers, known as the Old Firm, is one of the fiercest and most famous in the world. Rangers have won more trophies than any other club in the world. The club emblem features the lion rampant, a traditional symbol of Scotland, and the club motto "Ready". The "Ready" motto evolved from "Aye Ready", before that "Ready, Aye Ready" and before that "Aye, Work Awa". The Teddy Bears nickname is said to have come from it sounding like 'Gers' if you have a broad Glaswegian accent. The stadium is located in the Ibrox neighborhood of Glasgow. Previous Stadiums - Flesher's Haugh, Burnbank, Kinning Park, Old Ibrox.
