Queen's Park Rangers F.C. are refered to as 'QPR' or 'the Hoops', usually not as just the 'Rangers'. That's reserved for the Glasgow team, at least among most people I know.
However the Glasgow ones recently went through some financial troubles, the end result of that is that the Glasgow Rangers had to start again at the lowest rung of professional football in Scotland. QPR on the other hand are in the Premier League, which is one of the biggest leagues around, and might be more in the news.

I'll try to stop with the football angle.
