CLUB VALUES
ENVIRONMENT

• Relentless     - Being relentless is a state of mind that can give you the strength to achieve, to survive & to
                 overcome. To be strong when others are not, that means craving the end results so intensely that
                 the work becomes irrelevant. Not just on the pitch but in everything we do.

• Excellence     - With readiness prevailing in all we undertake, excellence reminds us of the high standard ethos
                 & commitments we embrace to being the best & delivering the best. Ensuring we define what
                 success looks like & aim to be a profitable and sustainable club that reserves its history, upholds
                 its traditions.

• Aspirational   - Being aspirational is a value the founding fathers believed & achieved. It encapsulates
                 everything we are striving towards as club & will be the driving force behind directing the club
                 forward in the pursuit of becoming pioneering as we evolve as a club that embracing the
                 challenges

• Diverse
                 - Diversity in ideas and people is more than just a word. Diversity at Rangers will allow us to be
                 more innovative & be in a position to be more successful. We know through experience that
                 .different ideas, perspectives and backgrounds create a stronger and more creative work
                  environment that delivers better results.

• Yours          - Yours is taking ownership: this value demonstrates integrity, respect and teaming. With energy,
                 enthusiasm and the courage to lead. People who build relationships based on doing the right
                 thing & being accountable for your actions & behaviours. Supporters are the lifeblood of the club
