Cove Rangers are a senior Scottish football club currently playing in the Highland Football League. They are based in Cove Bay, a suburb of Aberdeen and play their football at Allan Park.
The current manager is John Sheran.
Cove were formed in 1922 and played in the local amateur leagues until 1985, when they became a junior team. However, the club applied and were accepted to the senior Highland Football League in 1986, where they have played ever since. They have racked up a formidable reputation in the lower rounds of the Scottish Cup, reaching the 3rd round three times. In 2001 they won their first Highland League championship - but even more impressively won the quadruple of Highland League, Aberdeenshire Shield, Scottish Qualifying Cup and League Cup.
