Club Social de Deportes Rangers (CSD Rangers)

Founded on November 2, 1902, Club Social de Deportes Rangers is a Chilean football club based in Talca. The team competes in the Primera B, the second tier of Chilean football, and hosts its matches at the Fiscal Stadium, which has a capacity of 16,000 spectators. The club’s colors are red and black, though the origin of these colors remains uncertain. One theory suggests that early players were members of the Second Company of Firemen of Talca, whose shield featured these colors. Another possibility is the influence of Rangers Football Club in Scotland, known for wearing red and black socks representing the district colors of Govan.
