As a new club they started in the lowest division, the third.[2] In 2001\u201302 they played in Division 1, directly under the Premier Division, and stayed there until 2008.[3] In the 2007\u201308 season they suffered financial problems, and began to search for a partnership with another club.Rangers L.F.C. was founded in 2008, as Rangers followed the example of Celtic, Hibernian and Aberdeen in developing a women’s section. The formation of the team involved a partnership with Paisley City Ladies.[4][5][6] Former Rangers youth academy coach Drew Todd was brought in to coach the team. Scotland player Jayne Sommerville was signed as the new team’s first captain.[7]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4They took the place of Paisley City in the Scottish Women’s First Division and many players switched too.[8] Rangers won the league in their debut season.[9] They also reached the final of the Scottish Women’s Cup but lost 5\u20130 to Glasgow City;[10] they were the first side playing in a lower division to reach the final.[11]Former East Stirlingshire footballer Scott Allison was appointed manager in 2010.[12] The club reached the Cup final again but were beaten 2\u20131 by Hibernian.[13]In May 2011, Alana Marshall became the first female Rangers player to be called up by the senior Scotland team.[14]In February 2012, The Herald newspaper reported that the financial crisis engulfing Rangers also threatened the existence of the club’s women’s section.[15] The team continued to operate, and ended the 2014 SWPL season with a second place finish, the club’s best result so far.Ahead of the 2018 season, the official name of the team was changed to ‘Rangers Women’ from the previous ‘Rangers Ladies’.[16] In July 2019, the club announced a significant commitment to women’s football by integrating their teams more fully into its operations and providing further financial support with the aim of becoming professional. To this end, the incumbent coach Amy McDonald was installed in a new position as Women’s Manager, with former player and youth trainer Gr\u00e9gory Vignal appointed as head coach of the senior team.[17][18] A few months later the team moved their home fixtures to the Rangers Training Centre in Milngavie following improvements made to its facilities, having previously been using New Tinto Park (home of Benburb F.C.) in the Govan area of Glasgow, near to the club’s Ibrox Stadium.[19]In January 2020 Malky Thomson was appointed joint first-team coach alongside Vignal,[20] in June of the same year Vignal left the club Thomson was named head of the women’s first team.[21] In 2022, an arrangement was reached to play home fixtures at Broadwood Stadium in Cumbernauld, due to capacity and parking issues at the training venue.[1]Current squad[edit]As of 13 March 2023[22]Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules.
