[edit] History

The name Rangers (meaning ‘One of the Defending Watchman’) was chosen by an Englishman, Juan Greenstret, who was one of the founding fathers of the Club.

The origin of the chosen team colours, red and black, are unknown, though one of the possibilities was that some of the first players were also members of the Second company of Firemen of Talca, whose shield was red and black.

Throughout their first century of existence, honours have been few and far between, with no Championship successes.
