RANGERS have today become the first Scottish club to launch its own official app for Apple's iPhone and iPod touch.

 

And the launch comes along with a custom internet browser theme featuring branding from Walter Smith's Double winners - a first in British football.

 

The SPL Champions are ahead of the game in this area and fans can stay in touch with the club 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, wherever they are through the new and exclusive application plus enjoy the benefits of a dedicated Rangers themed internet browser.

 

A wealth of information and pictures are available at the touch of a button on the Apple App and supporters can find out the latest news, up-to-date fixture lists, results of previously played fixtures, in-depth match reports and other key information direct from Rangers.

 

Key features on the Rangers Apple App, which costs �£2.99 and is available to download from http://www.rangers.co.uk'>http://www.rangers.co.uk and iTunes, include:

 

- The latest news from Rangers

- Historical information about the club, including past managers and Rangers' home, Ibrox Stadium

- Squad details including pictures and stats

- Fixture list with upcoming match dates and comprehensive match reports from previous games

- Support for posting to Facebook.

 

The SPL Champions and Homecoming Scottish Cup Winners have also teamed up with custom browser specialists Brand Thunder to create a unique themed browser experience that offers supporters the chance to update their Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers with distinctive club branding.

 

The new Rangers browser theme will utilise exclusive pictures and video content from the recently revamped http://www.rangers.co.uk and is delivered through a small download called a Boom! which does much more than provide a visual takeover of the browser.

 

Booms! feature breaking news in the integrated toolbar, multimedia in the sidebar, easy access to all things Rangers and is available to download from http://www.rangers.co.uk.

 

Rangers Chief Executive Martin Bain said: "We are delighted to announce the launch of the Rangers Apple App and the Rangers web browser. The club recently unveiled a pioneering online TV station - RangersTV.tv - and we are leading the way once again in this field.

 

"Our supporters have a huge appetite for news and these two new ventures, allied to our existing club media platforms, allow them to stay in touch with the club night and day."
