Despite leading the Scottish Premiership beyond the first half of the season, home and away defeats against arch-rivals Celtic ultimately cost Rangers the 2021/22 title.
A campaign that will be predominantly remembered for their run to the Europa League final ended on a glorious note as Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side won the Scottish Cup in dramatic fashion at Hampden Park.
Having joined following the departure of Steven Gerrard to Aston Villa in November 2021, Van Bronckhorst will have been dissatisfied to have guided Rangers to a finish four points behind champions Celtic.
Can Rangers record revenge in 2022/23? Here's how their schedule looks.

Rangers Scottish Premiership projection & odds
Bookmakers expect Rangers to finish second behind Celtic again in 2022/23 after the Hoops ended up four points above their city rivals at the end of the 2021/22 season.
Aside from a defeat at Dundee United in their second game of the league season, Rangers were only beaten by Celtic in the top flight last term. Winning the derby is likely to be critical to their chances of domestic glory.

Rangers best & worst Scottish Premiership finish
Rangers have finished in a record-lowest position of third on three occasions since the Scottish Premier Division became the Scottish Premier League in 1998/99, and later the Scottish Premiership.
The Gers have won the modern top flight eight times. Their highest points total was 102 when they led the division under Gerrard, and their lowest over 38 games was 67 points during the 2016/17 season.
