http://www.irishnews.com/sport/football ... --1599438/Here we take a look at the numbers to see how King's claim stacks up.:..8 - years since Rangers last lifted a major piece of silverware, the 2011 Scottish Premier League title.
In that time Celtic have racked up 15 trophy successes, with two more possible before the end of the current campaign as they chase a historic third domestic clean sweep.
11 - points the Light Blues currently lag behind the Parkhead champions-elect in this year's Ladbrokes title race with five games remaining.
73 - goals Steven Gerrard's squad have fired on league duty this season, which is two more than their bitter foes.
1 - solitary Old Firm victory is all Rangers have mustered since returning to the top flight in 2016.
The Glasgow giants have squared off 14 times in total since then, with the Hoops holding a 33-8 aggregate lead.
439 - caps currently held by 16 first-team Gers players. Their Parkhead rivals can boast 21 full internationals with a combined 546 appearances for their countries.
ÂŁ15.1million - was the total first-team wage bill at Ibrox during the 2017/18 season, with the rest of the club's workforce earning a combined ÂŁ9m according to the most recent available figures.
Celtic's labour costs for the same campaign were ÂŁ59m, with the vast majority of that going on the playing staff.
ÂŁ2.8million - is how much cash Rangers raised through the sale of players last summer.
Celtic were able to splash out a club-record ÂŁ8million fee on Odsonne Eduoard and still post a transfer profit of ÂŁ17.6m for the six months up to December 31.
Zero - King hopes this season's run to the Europa League will help take the club to the break-even point by the end of the season.
Celtic, meanwhile, announced last month that they "now expect to exceed market expectations for the current financial year" after banking a reported ÂŁ9m in compensation from allowing boss Brendan Rodgers to join Leicester.
Also ich mag den King.
