The 2024–25 season was the 145th season of competitive football by Rangers.

Season summary

The day before the 2024–25 season began, manager Philippe Clement signed a contract extension by a further year to 2028.[2]

Rangers reached the League Cup final, losing on penalties after a 3–3 draw with Celtic on 15 December 2024.[3]

On 23 February 2025, Rangers sacked Clement. The team were 13 points off Celtic, having just lost at home to St Mirren for the first time since 1991, and had been knocked out the Scottish Cup at Ibrox against Scottish Championship side Queen's Park.[4] The following day, former Rangers player Barry Ferguson was appointed as interim head coach.[5] He brought former teammates Neil McCann, Billy Dodds and Allan McGregor onto the coaching team.[6]

Finishing with 18 goals from 35 league appearances, Cyriel Dessers won the Scottish Premiership's golden boot award, edging out Daizen Maeda and Simon Murray who had both finished on 16.[7][8]

On 30 May, a US-based consortium, including private healthcare tycoon Andrew Cavenagh and the investment arm of the San Francisco 49ers, completed a multi-million pound takeover of the club.[9]
