Nach erfolgreicher Diskussion, ob der OFC sich bei Rangers First engagieren sollte oder nicht, ist das Votum klar zur Unterstützung ausgefallen. Der OFC unterstützt hiermit jährlich das Bemühen, die Rangers wieder in die Hände der Supporters - Fans zu überführen. Zumindest soll das Wort der "Fans" wieder mehr Gewicht haben bei den Belangen der Rangers.
An dieser Stelle möchten wir Euch auf dem laufenden halten, was es rund um das Projekt Rangers First -> Club 1872 an Neuigkeiten gibt.
Der Club 1872 ist ein Zusammenschluss von mehreren Fan-Organisation - Rangers First (RF) - Rangers Supporters Trust (RST) - Season ticket (ST).
Mit der Wahl vom 27.03.2016 hat sich eine überwältigende Mehrheit dafür ausgesprochen, die drei Organisationen unter einem Dach zum Club 1872 zu vereinigen.
Mit dem 26.05.2016 ist der Club 1872 offiziell "running". Der Club 1872 ist die Heimat von 10.400 Members und repräsentiert ggü dem Verein 4.900.776 Shares/Voting Rights

Rangers is more than a football club. Rangers is an institution. Rangers is a family which spans the globe and whose supporters are more loyal and passionate than those any other club can boast.
Rangers’ 144 year history has been exhilarating and proud – filled with unparalleled success but also moments of despair. Throughout it all, the supporters have remained true and are the reason the Club continues to prosper and can now take back its rightful place in Scottish Football’s top flight.
Club 1872 is a cause with one clear and common purpose for all those who hold Rangers dear – to rebuild, maintain and protect the club that supporters across the world love.
Club 1872 exists to ensure Rangers supporters will never again be forced to endure the events which saw our club demoted to the bottom tier of Scottish football. More than that, we want the Rangers supporters to play a central role in once again making Rangers a proud name in both domestic and European football.
