Club captains

Since the club's formation in 1872, over thirty players have permanently held the position of club captain for Rangers. The first was Tom Vallance, from 1876 to 1882. The longest-serving captain is John Greig, who held the role from 1965 until his retirement in 1978. The current club captain is James Tavernier, who took over from Lee Wallace in 2018.
Although many players have held the position of captain during matches – and in many occasions several matches in a row, when the club captain was injured or suspended – this list only includes players that have been officially appointed as the captain of Rangers.

Hall of Fame players

The Rangers Football Club Hall of fame is a list established in 2000 by the then Rangers chairman, David Murray. The club was the first in Britain to establish a Roll of Honour for former players. Murray decided that the club should remember and honour the achievements and contribution made by its finest players throughout its history. A mahogany panel above the famous marble staircase was assigned to display the names of those inducted into the Hall of Fame and an annual presentation ceremony was instigated where the players honoured received their award. The first member elected was Moses McNeil, one of the founders of Rangers.
The following criteria are considered by the panel when selecting new members:

the individual's service to the club,
the number of appearances made,
the honours won whilst playing for the club,
international caps won whilst with the club, and
the player's exceptional ability.
