The Challenge: Make Scotland a two team duopoly again.

Remember the good old days when Rangers and Celtic would absolutely monopolise the Scottish Premier League and steal everyone's good players every season to eliminate all other competition? Well, let's get back to that shall we?

No more Aberdeen challenges, no more Hearts muscling in on the top of the league and a REAL challenge for Celtic, that's what everyone in Glasgow wants (well, not everyone, but a lot of them), and that's what it's your job to do in Football Manager 2017.

Luckily, you've still got spending power and pulling power as Rangers, but you're going to have to do a lot to break Celtic's hold on the league. Working the loan market in England smartly will help, and so will knowing exactly how to beat them head-to-head. That's really going to be key to getting Ranger back to winning ways.
