rangers

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'soldiers' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'king infuriates' is the wordplay.
'king' becomes 'R' (abbreviation of Latin rex).
'infuriates' becomes 'angers' (I've seen this before).
'r'+'angers'='RANGERS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rangers that I've seen before include "Park officials - Glasgow FC" , "Glasgow soccer team" , "Glasgow football club" , "Long-distance travellers" , "Forest staff" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
