The story of Rangers Football Club reaches far beyond Ibrox, threading through entertainment, sport, film and business, carried by generations for whom supporting Rangers is less a pastime than an inheritance. As a result, the roster of recognisable figures prepared to declare themselves part of the Rangers support includes famous fans across Scotland and beyond.
The origins of these allegiances extend from first matches attended with parents, heroes idolised from the Copland Road end, famous matches replayed in memory. There are also more distant encounters, friendships, chance encounters or famous visits to Ibrox that have drawn in celebrities to the Rangers fan collective.
