Rangers were named after an English rugby club.

Some of the Italian clubs have brilliant nicknames. While the one most used will usually be just the club colours, Bianconeri (white-black) for Juventus, Rossoneri (red-black) for Milan and Nerazzuri (Black-blue) for Internazionale their equivalent of our "Irons" are great. Juve are sometimes known as La Goebe (The Hunchback) Milan Il Casciavit (The Screwdriver) and Inter Il Biscione (The Big Grass Snake)...
