Rangers rocket in coefficient table to outperform Barcelona, Manchester United and other giants

Rangers’ European exploits have earned them a place in the top 10 performing clubs on the Continent in the past five years.

The Ibrox side restored their reputation on the European stage following the arrival of Steven Gerrard.

And their progress sees them sit above giants such as Barcelona, Juventus and Manchester United.

A 20-team table posted on @swissfootdata shows Bayern Munich at the top with 19.714 points scored over the five-year period with the German giants just above Champions League finalists Liverpool and their English Premier League rivals Manchester City.

But Rangers are in 10th position with Chelsea, Real Madrid, Red Star Belgrade, Salzburg, PSG and Ajax making up the rest of the top half.

The Ibrox side picked up 17,075 points thanks to their impressive form in the Europa League over the last four years which saw them reach the Final last season where they lost to Eintracht Frankfurt on penalty kicks.

Gerrard arrived 12 months after a disastrous exit to Luxembourg minnows Progres Niederkorn and steered them into the group stage at the first attempt.

Rangers then reached the last-16 in successive seasons before Giovanni van Bronckhorst took them to the final, defeating giants Borussia Dortmund en route to Seville.
