RANGERS today launched a pioneering internet TV station - RangersTV.tv - which is bound to be a hit with fans.

RangersTV.tv is the first dedicated online TV station created by a UK football club and will offer fans in the UK and overseas the most comprehensive range of programming produced by any club to date.

The online TV station will feature up to nine separate channels and will offer supporters the ultimate digital cross-platform facility.

• First-team players will participate in studio interviews and analysis

• Access will be available to an extensive archive library of classic SPL, European and Old Firm action

• Rangers Review & Preview news magazine style programmes will be screened on Mondays and Fridays featuring exclusive match action and reaction from the players and management team hosted by Lindsay Herron

• Rangers home and away European fixtures will be broadcast in full from midnight

• In-depth feature-led programming will be produced on all aspects of the Club

• Fan forums and panel shows with Rangers stars of the past and present will be broadcast

Supporters have been unable to watch Rangers TV since Setanta ceased

 broadcasting in the summer but Rangers can now offer fans a new, improved and unique internet TV station which can be enjoyed FREE for a two-week period now.

A dedicated TV studio at Ibrox Stadium will provide on-site production, editing and encoding facilities to supply a bank of content for distribution on all media platforms and the service complements our existing online offering - Rangers World - which features short-form video interviews and news.
