Rangers have been named among the world's top 10 clubs in a new global ranking study.
The International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) ranks the Ibrox club among the game's very best in a table that compiles the best 300 sides between June 2021 and May 2022. Giovanni van Bronckhorst 's side rose from 24th place in the previous compilation to ninth in its latest edition. Their exploits in the Europa League, reaching the final with victories over Borussia Dortmund, Red Star Belgrade, Braga and RB Leipzig before losing out to Eintracht Frankfurt, are likely to have had a heavy influence in their standing. That ninth place ranking puts Rangers ahead of European heavyweights such as Bayern Munich, Juventus and PSG.
City rivals Celtic also make the top 50, coming in at 38th - ahead of Barcelona, Manchester United and Atletico Madrid - following a domestic double-winning campaign under Ange Postecoglou. They've risen five places from 43rd in the latest IFFHS standings.
