The2011–12 season was the 132nd season of competitivefootball byRangers.

Rangers played a total of 45 competitive matches during the 2011–12 season. Smith's deputy and Rangers record goalscorer Ally McCoist was appointed manager of the club.^[1] However, McCoist was hampered by a bizarre transfer policy the club utilised under Whyte's control. This resulted in protracted transfer negotiations with several targets but without significant recruitment and this probably contributed to Rangers being knocked out of both theUEFA Champions League and theUEFA Europa League by the end of August, depriving the club of income that may have been anticipated. With the new ownership there initially appeared to be some financial stability of the club. A number of first-team regulars were secured on long-term contract extensions includingSteven Davis,^[2]Allan McGregor,^[3]Steven Whittaker^[3] andGregg Wylde.^[4] When McCoist entered the transfer market, his first signing beingAlmería midfielderJuan Manuel Ortiz,^[5] he soon encountered difficulties. A number of highly publicised failed transfers, including deals forWesley Verhoek andRoland Juhász, led to many doubting Whyte's financial prowess.^[6][7]

Rangers' firstScottish Premier League match of the season was a home match againstJim Jefferies'Heart of Midlothian, where the league flag was unfurled by then chairmanCraig Whyte, as Rangers were under considerable pressure for most of the first half but managed to salvage a draw. The following week, McCoist claimed his first competitive victory as manager with a win overSt Johnstone.^[8] The season proved to be a baptism of fire for McCoist, by early October the club held a ten-point lead over Celtic,^[9] and on 5 November the lead stood at fifteen points over Celtic and twelve over second placedMotherwell.^[10] However, a draw with St Johnstone and subsequent defeats toKilmarnock,^[11]St Mirren^[12] andOld Firm rivals Celtic,^[13] who then went on a run of twenty-one matches undefeated saw Rangers slip to second place^[14] where the club remained for the rest of the season.

Rangers' European adventure began in the middle of the final week of July, where Rangers were defeated by underdogsMalmö 1–0^[15] at home and Rangers crashed out of the Champions League with a bad tempered 1–1 draw in Sweden in which both Steven Whittaker andMadjid Bougherra were both given their marching orders,^[16] and ultimately relegating the Gers to the Europa League play-off round, where they faced Slovenian teamNK Maribor.^[17] In cup competitions the club fair no better, a third round defeat toFirst Division sideFalkirk in theLeague Cup^[18] and a fifth round exit at home at the hands ofDundee United.^[19]

On 13 February 2012, Rangers filed legal papers at the Court of Session giving notice of their intention to appoint administrators.^[20] Rangers officially entered administration on the following day, appointing London-based financial advisersDuff & Phelps as administrators.^[20] Rangers entered administration over an alleged non-payment of £9m inPAYE andVAT taxes toHM Revenue and Customs.^[20][21] On entering administration, the team was docked ten points by theSPL, a move regarded as 'effectively ending' its 2012 championship challenge.^[20] A failure then to submit accounts for 2011 meant the club was not granted a licence to play in European football in season 2012–13.^[22][23] In April it was revealed that the club's total debts could be as high as £134m.^[24]

On 13 May it was revealed that Whyte sold his controlling interest in The Rangers Football Club Plc for £2 to a consortium led byCharles Green.^[25] Green offered the creditors a settlement, in the form of acompany voluntary arrangement (CVA), in an attempt to exit administration.^[25] On 12 June 2012, it emerged that HMRC would reject the CVA put forward by Green. Green's takeover of the club depended on the CVA being accepted by HMRC, which would have seen only £8.5m of the total debt repaid. The formal rejection of the CVA, two days later, meant that the Rangers Football Club Plc entered theliquidation process and the club would have to reform with new corporate ownership.^[26] The oldco's assets, includingRangers F.C.,Ibrox Stadium andRangers Training Centre, were sold to Sevco 5088 Ltd, a consortium led by Green, in a deal worth £5.5m.^[27][28]
