Bookind Rangers' Season 22 was a challenging campaign in Division 8, marked by defensive struggles and a tough fight for points. The team managed only 4 wins, 4 draws, and suffered 14 losses, finishing in 11th place. Their goal difference of -42 highlights the difficulties faced at the back, as they conceded 58 goals while scoring just 16.
