Fifteen-year-old John Fleck made his Rangers debut, matching the age at which youngsters including Derek Ferguson had been given their first taste of first team action. He made his competitive debut the following year against East Stirlingshire.
2008 - The Rangers Ladies team was launched, ready to take its place in the Scottish Women's First Division. Formed as a result of a partnership with Paisley City Ladies, the side had former Ibrox youth coach Drew Todd at the helm and Jayne Somerville as its captain. Within three years Alana Marshall became the first player to be called up by the Scotland women's team when she was named in the squad to face France.
2014 - Ventura County Fusion 3 Rangers 1 (Mohsni) - Friendly (Played at Ventura, California)
Off the park, an over-excited public address announcer kicked off proceedings by welcoming Rangers, 'managed by the legendary Ally McCoist'. And thereafter, at every break in play, he read out commercials for, amongst others, a fast food outlet, a karaoke bar and a local sports emporium
 
Shame about Alfie conn. Our supporters club used to be called the Alfie conn loyal. We kept the name after he went to spurs but had to abruptly change it later for obvious reasons
