The Rangers Football Club plc
 PROFILE
Scottish soccer has been overrun by the charging light blue brigade. The Rangers Football Club, known as the Light Blues, is one of the top clubs in the Scottish Premier League, boasting 49 championships (including a run of nine straight from 1989 to 1997). The team was started in 1872 by locals Peter and Moses McNeil, Peter Campbell, and William McBeath, taking its name from an English rugby team. The Rangers shared its first championship with Dumbarton in 1891. Today the team is controlled by chairman David Murray (with a 65% stake) and has diverse operations in hospitality and retailing. More than 50% of sales come from tickets and television fees. Murray has said he will offer public shares in the club.
