Overview
Rangers played a total of 52 competitive matches during the 1997-98 season. They went into the season in pursuit of a record tenth consecutive league title.

In Europe, the club failed to reach the Champions League group stages and fell at the first hurdle in the UEFA Cup, losing both legs 2-1 to RC Strasbourg.
