Rangers 2020–21 football season
The 2020–21 season was the 141st season of competitive football by Rangers .
Rangers played a total of 56 competitive matches during the 2020−21 season.
On 7 March 2021, Rangers clinched the Premiership title, their 55th Scottish championship, after rivals Celtic drew 0–0 away to Dundee United .[1] [2] It was Rangers' first league title in a decade and the first time Celtic had not finished as league champions in that same span.[3]
With a 4–0 win over Aberdeen on the final day of the season, Rangers sealed an undefeated league season and became the first club since Celtic in 2016–17 to reach the 100 point milestone.[4] Rangers won all 19 of their home games at Ibrox and equalled the league record of 26 clean sheets in the campaign.[5] They also set a new British record by conceding only 13 goals in their 32 wins and six draws.[5]
