How the Rangers quiz is checked
Every question above was written by hand and verified before it went live.
All 48 Rangers questions were checked twice before publication — once against the claim the question makes, and once against the wrong answers offered beside it. A question whose wrong options can be dismissed without knowing any football is not really a question, so those get rewritten or dropped rather than padded out. Anything that could not be confirmed was removed rather than guessed, which is why some sets are smaller than others. Every one of them carries a written explanation. Spot something wrong and tell us — corrections from players are how the bank stays accurate.

About the Rangers quiz
Rangers were founded in Glasgow in 1872 and have played at Ibrox — one of British football's grandest stadiums — since 1899. This free Rangers quiz covers the whole story of the club: the royal blue, the marble staircase, managers from Bill Struth to Walter Smith, and one of the fiercest rivalries in world sport, the Old Firm derby with Celtic. If you know your Gers, this is your test.
Rangers' proudest European night came in 1972, when they won the European Cup Winners' Cup, beating Dynamo Moscow 3-2 in the final in Barcelona. Domestically, few runs compare to the nine league titles in a row between 1989 and 1997, built under Graeme Souness and completed by Walter Smith, with idols like Ally McCoist, Brian Laudrup and Paul Gascoigne. The quiz also tells the modern chapter: financial collapse and liquidation in 2012, the reformed club restarting in Scottish football's fourth tier, and the long climb back — including a run to the 2022 Europa League final.
Expect questions on the European finals, the managers, the Old Firm, and the players fans still talk about. You'll be asked who scored twice in the 1972 final, which manager completed nine-in-a-row, and which division Rangers restarted in after 2012. Difficulty climbs from easy openers about Ibrox and the club colours to genuinely hard deep cuts about specific finals, scorers and seasons.
Every question comes with a short explained answer, so even a miss teaches you the detail that makes it stick. Play the sample set below free in your browser, no sign-up needed. The full Rangers quiz — plus daily challenges, leaderboards and multiplayer — is in the Ball IQ app.
Ball IQ has 48 Rangers questions — 15 easy, 20 medium and 13 hard.
