History
In 1968 a football team was established in Għarb with the name of Għarb Rangers. They took part to the Gozitan championship for two seasons, 1968–69 and 1969–70, with a team formed by local players. Then the team was inactive for 15 years.
In 1985, thanks to an agreement with the neighbour town of San Lawrenz, a team named Għarb St. Lawrence Rangers was made up to participate in the Gozitan league 1985–86, organized in a single division with eleven teams. Their record that year was 0–1–9.
Since the following season, St. Lawrence Spurs F.C. and Għarb Rangers are two independent football clubs.
