The 2019–20 season was the 140th season of competitive football by Rangers. It was their fourth consecutive season back in the top tier of Scottish football, having been promoted from the Scottish Championship at the end of the 2015–16 season.[1] Rangers also competed in the Europa League and both domestic cups (League Cup and Scottish Cup).

On 13 March 2020, the Scottish football season was suspended with immediate effect due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak.[2]

The Premiership was curtailed on 18 May 2020, with average points per game used to determine final league positions.[3]
