There appears to be some confusion regarding a new Netflix documentary about Rangers FC. While there have been documentaries about the club, there is no official news or announcement from Netflix about a new one being released.
Here is what is known:
* Rangers72: A documentary about the club’s 1972 European Cup Winners’ Cup triumph, titled “Rangers72,” was released in 2022. However, this film was acquired by Prime Video for a UK and Ireland release, not Netflix.
* Previous Netflix-style offers: In the past, Rangers FC’s managing director has confirmed that the club turned down offers from documentary makers for a “Netflix-style” show. This was because the club wanted to maintain control over the final edited product and was concerned about how the club might be portrayed. The director did not rule out the possibility of a documentary in the future but indicated that any such project would likely be an in-house production.
* Other documentaries: Other documentaries about the club and its history exist, such as “Rangers – The Men Who Sold the Jerseys,” which was a BBC Scotland program.
It’s possible that the news you heard is a rumor or a misunderstanding of one of these existing documentaries. The lack of any official announcement from Netflix or the club makes it unlikely that a new, legendary documentary is in the works with the streaming giant at this time.Previous Netflix-style offers: In the past, Rangers FC’s managing director has confirmed that the club turned down offers from documentary makers for a “Netflix-style” show.
