Premier Division, finishing tenth after their first campaign. In 2001-02 Rangers made their debut in the FA Vase followed a year later their first ever FA Cup match. The club finished that season fifth in the Premier Division. The club had a succession of managers in the following seasons, and mixed fortunes on the pitch. However, for the start of the 2006-07 season, Deeping Rangers appointed Tuncay Korkmaz as manager. The club won two rounds in the FA Cup, and set a League record by playing twenty-eight consecutive undefeated league games. The run was ended by a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Yaxley. As a result, Rangers led the league by twelve points in February 2007, and went on to win the Premier Division championship for the first time.

The following season was a time for consolidation, but the club has the stated ambition to win the UCL Premier Division title again and join near-neighbour Stamford at a higher level of football.

Rangers also have healthy rivalries with neighbouring UCL clubs Blackstones (based 10 miles away in Stamford), Boston Town, and also Holbeach United.

The club shares a site on the northern edge of Market Deeping, close to the recently completed Deepings by-pass on the A16, with the local cricket and tennis clubs. All the clubs have joint use of the sports and social club at the centre of the site, which was completed in 1999. The main stand on the first-team pitch cost £33,000 and took three years to complete. Minor modifications were made during the 1999 close season to comply with UCL regulations. In summer 2000 floodlights were erected following a successful fund raising appeal. These enable the club to comply with
