Rangers is one of the most successful football clubs in the world, winning the SPL 55 times and picking up 33 Scottish Cups, 27 Scottish League Cups, and the Cup Winners’ Cup. This heritage acts as a source of pride and responsibility for the club’s sporting leadership. Among their other European achievements, the club played in the Cup Winners’ Cup final in 1961 and 1967, and in 2008 reached the UEFA Cup final. Glasgow is Scotland's largest city (population 593,060) and is considered its commercial capital. The Greater Glasgow metropolitan area has approximately 2.1 million people within 15 miles of the city centre, but most of the population of Scotland is focused on the Central Belt, which is an area spanning the lands between the rivers Clyde in the west and Forth in the east. Geographical access to Scotland’s talent pools is not a major issue. Despite that, Rangers seek to cover the entire country and operate dedicated training centres in several locations in order to be able to offer a Rangers-led development programme to aspiring players without the need to travel into Glasgow. Head of Academy Craig Mulholland is undoubtedly proud of his club's achievements, but he also sees the need to develop the academy, which is also supported by the club's management.
