Ready (club motto)
Aye Ready: the club motto carried on the Rangers crest.
Ready is the Rangers motto. It is a shortened form of Aye Ready, which means Always Ready in Scots, and it has appeared on the club's lion rampant crest since that crest was introduced in 1959, alongside the lion, an old-style football and the name Rangers Football Club.

Reader's Guide
The motto survived every redesign of the club crest, in 1968, the early 1990s and 2020. On the shirt, where the older scroll crest is worn, the words Rangers Football Club and the motto Ready were printed above and below the crest between 1990 and 1994. The club also borrowed the word for its Ready2Succeed community programme, a ten-week employability course launched in October 2015.
