Rangers are currently the ONLY unbeaten team in any of the UKs top leagues.
Steven Gerrard's men have played 10 games including Europa League qualifiers and group stages and have not yet registered a single defeat.
English Premier League side Everton surrendered their unbeaten run in domestic football yesterday afternoon with a 2-0 defeat away to Southampton and the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea have all already registered losses this season.
Fans would have to search further down Scottish football to find any other sides without a mark in the loss column. Dunfermline Athletic and Hearts are both unbeaten in all competitions but by the luxury of having played just two games in the league.
Further down in the English Championship, Reading are currently unbeaten on league duty with six wins from seven and a goalless draw against Middlesbrough. But in the Carabao Cup, Veljko Paunović's side lost 1-0 at home to Luton Town. Bournemouth are also unbeaten in the league but lost 2-1 to Manchester City in the League Cup, leaving Gers as the only side yet to succumb to defeat
In fact, the closest challengers to Rangers' unbeaten crown is Walsall as far down as League 2 in England. They have played eight in the league, winning two and drawing six. But again, in the first round of the Carabao Cup they lost narrowly on penalties to Sheffield Wednesday.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
