Rangers F.C. is a football club based in Glasgow, Scotland, that competes in the Scottish Professional Football League. Since its founding in 1872, the club has had four different presidents (prior to incorporation) and nineteen chairmen. The club has been privately owned by stakeholders, in the form of a limited liability company but it is currently a publicly owned company trading on the AIM stock exchange. The board of directors are appointed to oversee the corporate operations of the company that owns the club with the chairman one of its most senior and high-profile figures. In Rangers history the chairman has generally been the main executive on the board, although this has begun to change with the appointment of CEOs.

Since December 2012, the company that owns Rangers, Rangers Football Club Limited, has itself been a subsidiary of Rangers International Football Club Plc. This has created a situation where the club has effectively two chairmen with Sandy Easdale the chair of the limited company (also known as the football board) and David Somers the chair of the Plc board.
