History

Historical Context

In November 1986 Alex Ferguson arrived at Manchester United, replacing Ron Atkinson. He lifted United from 11th place to their first league title since 1967 in 1993 and eventually secured 20 league championships by 2013, showing how sustained board support can create dominance. Rangers’ board now backs coach Danny Rohl with a similar long-term approach, hoping to replicate United’s trophy-winning model.
