History

Historical Context

In the 1994-95 season, Rangers spent a record £7.025 million on players such as Basile Boli and Brian Laudrup and won the Premier Division by 16 points. That spending spree created a pattern of high-profile signings that today sees Rangers chasing South American forwards Kevin Kelsy and Kim Min-su, echoing the club’s long-standing strategy to outspend Celtic and shape Scottish football economics.
