Colours

RangersMedia Football Club came about after it was first suggested on Rangers fansite RangersMedia by a member known as 'BigJonesy', that the members of the forum form a football team. The site admin took the idea from there, and on the 15th October 2006, at Glasgow Green Football Centre, RangersMedia FC played their first game. Fittingly the first match took place only 100yrds or so from where the real Rangers played their first ever match at Fleshers Haugh. Being a Rangers supporters team, the RangersMedia FC kit was decided to be Blue, White and Red.

Early Days

Alex Lauriston, took the reigns as the first manager and within a few weeks had formed the backbone of a team. Playing regular friendlies against Calder Utd, Snooker Loopy and Strathycruise it eventually led to the formation of the first every league in the early part of 2007. A tight league seen RMFC just lose out on winning after a draw with Calder Utd in the final game. Alex Lauriston stood down as manager in August 2007 due to family problems, and takes enormous credit for getting RMFC up and running.

Dado and Chambo

After Alex left, David Henderson and Ian Chalmers led the team into a new formed league for 2007/08. The new league was an evolution of the friendly league the year before, with TFC Dynamo, Finnieston Athletic and RSAMD joining RangersMedia, Calder Utd and Strathycruise. The campaign was a disaster for RangersMedia, underachieving badly and finishing bottom of the league. However the team were unlucky not to make the cup final. Ian left the squad during the campaign, moving to Fife. David took over the reigns himself, assisted by now flatmate, Alex Fulton.

2008/2009

2008/09 was something of an evolution for RMFC. The league had expanded once again, this time to 12 teams, and for the first time the team found themselves facing a season proper. After an excellent pre-season, the league campaign started with a whimper losing 5 of the first 6 matches. However, after a team meeting, the team started taking itself more seriously and went on a long winning run, losing just twice more in the league to end up finishing 4th in the league. Again the team got to the semi finals of the cup, only to fall short again. David Henderson stepped down as manager in June 2009, intent on going travelling in Australia for the next 12mths.

2009/2010

A successful season seen RMFC fall just short of league victory in an injury hit season.
