Wolves.

Prem, D1, D2, D3, FA Cup, League Cup, FA Trophy and Community Shield.

Wolves have never won the FA Trophy. They have won the Football League Trophy (Johnstones Paints Trophy as it is now). The FA Trophy is the major trophy for non-league teams in England.

They've never won the Premier League either. They did win the Championship when it was the top tier though and the old 4th division. You also forgot the Charity Shield and Texaco trophy amongst their collection.

I didn't want to make it too complicated for him so went with prem instead of having to explain it all over again, but you're right on the FA/FL trophy. Charity (Community) shield is in there. Div3 was Div4 when they won it but now it's league 2.

So you call the old div 1 the prem cause that's the modern top tier equiv but refuse to do so in terms of us competing in tier 2 regardless of the semantics.

The Priority has to be winning the Championship and in the process developing a Squad capable of Being a serious Challenger in the Premiership.

Winning the Challenge Cup would to a limited extent evidence that the squad is moving in the right direction. Winning a major Cup would certainly demonstrate real progress.

But as much as anything, I want to see a team taking to the pitch that is; 1) Fit, 2) Professional, 3) well prepared and managed, 4) that plays with the pride and passion of a true Rangers team.

If that happens- then the rest may very well fall into place. Really looking forward to this season.

I'm fully aware of the way that the English Leagues are structured, being English and been to many games from the late 70s onwards.

The problem is you need to give the trophies they won their proper title at the time they were won. That was the issue with the OP. Wolves name doesn't appear on the Premier League trophy but does on the Championship trophy in the same way that Rangers name appears 47 times on the Scottish Championship trophy.

Wolves have also won the FA Youth Cup.

A wee mention for Spartans . Greater than Hibs and Hearts. :)

In Season 2010-11 Spartans were the first team in East of Scotland history to win the domestic clean sweep, winning all 5 domestic trophies – The East of Scotland Premier Division, South Challenge Cup, Image Printers East of Scotland Qualifying Cup, League Cup and King Cup.

:drool: We can but dream...

Not important at all tbh

Promotion is all that matters. I'd accept a humiliating 1st stage Challenge Cup exit in exchange for winning the league by 20 points

The 2 trophies are not exclusive to each other, we should and will win both.

The Rangers Trophy cabinet consists of (domestic):

Scottish Championships

Scottish Cups

Scottish League Cups

Scottish Division 3 Champions

Scottish Division 2 Champions

This season is our last chance (unless we fail to get promoted or are relegated in the future) to achieve "the clean sweep" of winning every available trophy, which is missing;

Scottish Division 1 (Championship)

Scottish Challenge Cup (Petrofac)

How important is it to you we win "the clean sweep", and does anyone know if a "clean sweep" has ever been achieved before anywhere else in the world? (Celt*c sweeping between the 70's-90's doesn't count).

Dumbarton just need the league cup and petrofac
