UEFA Champions League group stages for the second season in a row. They drew Manchester United, Valencia and Bursaspor. Rangers were unbeaten in their first three group stage games, with a 0–0 draw at Old Trafford (the only team to keep a clean sheet at the Theatre of Dreams in the entire 2010–11 season), a 1–0 victory over Bursaspor at Ibrox and a 1–1 draw at home to Valencia. A 3–0 defeat in Valencia, followed by a 1–0 loss at home to Manchester United, ended Rangers' chances of qualifying for the last sixteen, but third place and a spot in the UEFA Europa League was already secured after Bursaspor failed to pick up a point in five games.

With the new ownership, there initially appeared to be some financial stability of the club. A number of first-team regulars were secured on long-term contract extensions, including Steven Davis, Allan McGregor, Steven Whittaker and Gregg Wylde.

A number of highly publicised failed transfers, including deals for Wesley Verhoek and Roland Juhász, led to many doubting Craig Whyte's financial prowess. Rangers' first Scottish Premier League match of the season was a home match, against Jim Jefferies' Hearts, before which the league flag was unfurled by then-chairman Whyte. The following week, McCoist claimed his first competitive victory as manager with a win over his first club, St Johnstone. The season proved to be a baptism of fire for McCoist; by early October,
