Any fan of a historic team that is going through low hours has a mirror to look at this season. He is none other than him Rangers F.C.flamboyant finalist of the Europe League this coming Wednesday, May 19 at Seville before him Eintracht Frankfurt. Ten the then called Glasgow Rangers went bankrupt and had to be refounded in the current one, officially called Rangers Football Clubstarting the Scottish competition from the catacombs, the fourth division.
Despite not being exactly the same club, its spirit, its stadium, its fans and its feeling is. A decade later his name is once again among the greatest of Europe. He has had to go through a tremendous via crucis, but the social support (in Ibrox Stadium there have always been about 50,000 spectators throughout this period) has been essential to return it where it deserves.
The new Rangers F.C. was born from the purchase of the club by Sevco 5588 Ltdowned by British businessman CharlesGreen, for 6.5 million euros. His rise was rapid. In just two years he was in the second division, having lost only three games during that time.
He failed to climb to the top flight in his first attempt, after losing a promotion plaoyff against motorwellbut he did in the second.
The thing did not stop there. With Steven Gerrard as a coach, he managed to proclaim himself champion of the league last season undefeated, winning the eternal duel against his rival, the Celticand regaining its supremacy in Scotlandwhere he has conquered 55 leagues by 52 with his neighbor’s recent one.
The brooch to similar progression can put it with the ex Barcelona Gio van Bronckhorstwho came to the bench after the departure of Gerrard to Premierif he becomes champion of the Europe League in it Sanchez Pizjuan and rescues for memory that one Glasgow Rangers who conquered the European Cup Winners Cup of 1972 in the Camp Nou before him dynamo moscow.
