and the Coupe de France. Rangers On 16 July 1998, only four days after the World Cup Final, he joined Rangers of the Scottish Premier League, signed by Dutch manager Dick Advocaat for £1.2 million. Charbonnier wore the number 1 shirt and initially competed with Antti Niemi for a place in the team. He suffered a cruciate ligament injury soon after but made 19 appearances throughout the season, including 11 in the league as Rangers won the 1998–99 Scottish Premier League title. Stefan Klos was signed in December 1998 and immediately became Rangers' first choice. At the end of the 1998–99 season Rangers completed the treble, also winning the Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup. The following season, Klos retained his place as he had impressed in Charbonnier and Niemi's absence. Rangers won the league and Cup again, but were beaten in the quarter-final of the League Cup 1–0, away to Aberdeen. Charbonnier made 11 appearances in all competitions this season, though none after December 1999. In his final season at the club, he was fourth choice and did not play a single game in any competition. Klos played 47, Jesper Christiansen of Denmark played six while Scottish player Mark Brown played in three games. Rangers won no trophies and finished second to Celtic in the league.
