The 2009–10 season is the 113th season of competitive football by Rangers.
[edit] OverviewRangers played a total of 48 competitive matches during the 2009-10 season. A quiet summer in terms of transfer arrivals contrasted to the outgoings. The club removed eleven players who had made first team appearances from the wage bill on permanent and loan deals. The only addition to the playing staff was Jérôme Rothen on a season loan, Rothen was the first player to sign for the club in over a year.[1] On August 26, chairman David Murray stepped down and was replaced by non-executive director Alastair Johnston.[2] Johnston stated that one of his main priorities was to find a buyer for owner Murray's shares.[3] On 24 October, Rangers manager Walter Smith was reported to say that Lloyds Banking Group, who the club was in debt to, was "effectively running the club".[4][5] On 12 November, the extent of the clubs financial problems was shown to be £31m in debt, a rise of £10m from the previous year.[6] On the field, Rangers' Scottish Premier League title defence got off to a stuttering start three wins in the league was followed by three draws, the first Old Firm victory of the season was followed by poor performances against St Johnstone and dropped points at home to Hibernian. Rangers were seeded in pot two of the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time. The club was drawn against Spanish team Sevilla, German outfit Stuttgart and Romanian champions Unirea Urziceni. A 1-1 away draw in Germany was followed by two consecutive 4-1 defeats at home to Sevilla and Unirea, the latter being regarded as one of the clubs worst ever European results.[7][8] Rangers were left with a small chance of qualifying from the group after a 1-1 draw in the return leg with Unirea, a match that saw trouble in the Rangers fans section of the stadium. The club was charged by UEFA for inappropriate conduct[9] and following an investigation fined €20,000 plus ordered to pay the cost of repairing the damage to the stadium infrastructure caused by its supporters.[10] [edit] Players[edit] Squad information
