Cambuslang Rangers Football Club are a Scottish football club based in Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire. Nicknamed The Lang or the wee Gers, were formed in 1899, they play at Somervell Park and wear blue strips (uniforms).
They currently play in the West Region of the Junior level of football. They were awarded the title of Scottish Junior team of the 20th century by the SJFA due to the honours they won in the 1970s.
It is common belief among older supporters that Willie McCallum was the club's best ever player. He was a mainstay and major asset to the club in the 1970s, he was often asked for his autograph which is rare for players at junior level.
The club has found it difficult to emulate the success of the 1970s team. The team are managed since May 2015 by former player Paul McColl.
