The 2004β05 season was the 125th season of competitive football by Rangers.
Rangers played a total of 51 competitive matches during the 2004β05 season. They went into the season looking to recapture their Scottish Premier League crown, which Celtic had won the season before. Manager Alex McLeish made several summer signings, with the signature of Frenchman Jean-Alain Boumsong being his biggest coup. Others included strikers Dado Prso and Nacho Novo, as well as the experienced midfielder Alex Rae and future Ibrox favourite Marvin Andrews.
Rangers League form began poorly picking up only 8 points from their first 5 matches. Rangers lost the first Old Firm derby of the season 1β0 at Celtic Park and fell behind Celtic in the league. Rangers form improved following the loss to Celtic and they weren't to lose again in the league until April. This run of form included two wins over Celtic in November, once in the League Cup and the other in the League. They also ended a poor run of results at Celtic Park, with a 2β0 victory in February. A 2β1 loss to Celtic at home in April left Rangers five points behind with just four games left of the season. Celtic led by two points on the final day of the season and were winning 1β0 against Motherwell, but two late goals for Motherwell coupled with Rangers 1β0 win over Hibernian saw Rangers win the title, Helicopter Sunday.
Rangers also won the League Cup this season, with a 5β1 victory over Motherwell in the final. Rangers were beaten in the Scottish Cup however, losing 2β1 to Celtic in the third round.
After losing to CSKA Moscow in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, Rangers entered the UEFA Cup. Rangers managed to qualify for the newly formed group stages with a penalty shoot-out win over Maritimo. Rangers failed to progress beyond the group stages however, a 2β0 loss at home to Auxerre seeing them fail to stay in Europe beyond Christmas.

The 2004β05 season was the 125th season of competitive football by Rangers.
Rangers played a total of 51 competitive matches during the 2004β05 season. They went into the season looking to recapture their Scottish Premier League crown, which Celtic had won the season before. Manager Alex McLeish made several summer signings, with the signature of Frenchman Jean-Alain Boumsong being his biggest coup. Others included strikers Dado Prso and Nacho Novo, as well as the experienced midfielder Alex Rae and future Ibrox favourite Marvin Andrews.
Rangers League form began poorly picking up only 8 points from their first 5 matches. Rangers lost the first Old Firm derby of the season 1β0 at Celtic Park and fell behind Celtic in the league. Rangers form improved following the loss to Celtic and they weren't to lose again in the league until April. This run of form included two wins over Celtic in November, once in the League Cup and the other in the League. They also ended a poor run of results at Celtic Park, with a 2β0 victory in February. A 2β1 loss to Celtic at home in April left Rangers five points behind with just four games left of the season. Celtic led by two points on the final day of the season and were winning 1β0 against Motherwell, but two late goals for Motherwell coupled with Rangers 1β0 win over Hibernian saw Rangers win the title, Helicopter Sunday.
Rangers also won the League Cup this season, with a 5β1 victory over Motherwell in the final. Rangers were beaten in the Scottish Cup however, losing 2β1 to Celtic in the third round.
After losing to CSKA Moscow in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, Rangers entered the UEFA Cup. Rangers managed to qualify for the newly formed group stages with a penalty shoot-out win over Maritimo. Rangers failed to progress beyond the group stages however, a 2β0 loss at home to Auxerre seeing them fail to stay in Europe beyond Christmas.
