History

Historical Context

Rangers Football Club entered administration on February 14, 2012, due to unpaid taxes exceeding £9 million, leading to a ten-point deduction that ended their championship hopes. Following a failed Company Voluntary Arrangement, the club's assets were sold to Sevco Scotland Ltd, which reformed Rangers as a new entity. This financial crisis has shaped the club's current focus on stability and youth development, impacting player decisions like that of James Tavernier.
