Rangers have renewed their partnership with data and analytics experts Kitman Labs - joining the likes of Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen.
The company’s technology is also used by Liverpool, Fulham and Ipswich Town - and has recently been launched across all Premier League Academies.
As part of an expanded partnership, it will allow Rangers to combine medical, performance, coaching and talent development data into a single ‘Intelligence Platform’ across the entire club, from the Men’s and Women’s First Teams to the Academy sides.
Stephen Smith, CEO and Founder of Kitman Labs, said: “We are extremely proud of our partnership with Rangers F.C., one of the most successful and historic clubs in global football.

“The Club has been at the cutting edge of utilising data and data science to advance player health and performance outcomes for a number of years.
“This expanded partnership will help support the Club in their efforts to raise and develop the next generation of talent through their exceptional academy structures on both the men’s and women’s side.”
The 'Kitman Labs Coaching & Development Solution' platform is designed to optimise player pathways, identify talent earlier in the development cycle, and ensure more informed succession planning.
It also aims to help the club accelerate their talent development pipeline and better prepare players for the rigours of the first team.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
