Makes no real difference to St Johnstone I don’t think. 1 round and out as per usual.

I was at Easter Road that day more in hope than expectation, and my mobile at that time had a radio in it too so as it was getting towards squeaky bum time and our game was effectively a dead rubber ( as a 1-0 win for us was enough for both teams to meet their goals and so the ball was just getting passed about the midfield with neither side committing to going forward) I was trying to hear the radio coming through from Fir Park. There had been nothing happening there either and a few false alarms had spread across the away end during that period. Then a bit of a cheer went up, I put the radio back on and with dozens of bears around me looking for confirmation I heard that Motherwellhad equalised and the place totally lost it. It was all about the full time whistle by then and Fir Park had to be in injury time as our game was done, and another almighty roar went up and I was trying desperately to hear what was coming through and all I heard was Rangers are champions and I thought that meant it was FT at Fir Park. Cue celebrations like never before. It was only about 10 mins later while we were waiting on the helicopter bringing our trophy that I found out that second roar was a second goal for Motherwell. The thing I won’t forget about that aftermath was when Hibs were doing their lap of honour for their fans to celebrate European qualification and Sunshine On Leith was blasting across the PA system, we were joining in on it too. To this day that song takes me back to Helicopter Sunday and I still get goosebumps when I hear it.

All the best @the gunslinger I hope you have a fantastic day and life together. As long as you can still go and see The Rangers all will be good in the world!

They conceded the same number of goals in one game at Ibrox as we did in 19 games.

Good bit of fun throughout the season, congrats to those in the top few and thank you to @Rousseau for the many hours put in administrating the league throughout the year.

A couple of fantastic points from the trophy presentation I noticed and absolutely loved. first that no SPFL officials were part of the presentation and secondly that we changed our tops after the game but before the presentation and wore tops that did not have the SPFL logo on them. A great F you to the corrupt cabal who have royally fucked us over since 2012.

While it is well deserved and of course the only viable option, I hope this really sticks in the throats of the many Rangers hating hacks who had to grudgingly vote for him. I wish we would not accept such an award, as the scum hacks can all do one until we can get fair and balanced reporting, which isn't coming any time soon.

Don’t know why we couldn’t have got this Livingston game moved to the weekend with neither side having a game and tv not picking it up anyway. Makes no sense to me going 10 days without a game then 2 in 4 days to finish the season. Scottish football administration in all its glory.

1-0 to the Champions, Morelos

I’d be happy for Jones to stay in Sunderland, for the right fee of course. If he plays a part in their promotion to the Championship, the discussions should start at £5M, as that is what really shit players are transferred for in that overpriced and overrated league.

Good point, it may well be closer to the truth than we will admit.

Interesting guesswork! What makes you think we may move to a back 3 next season? Have I missed a SG interview where he hints at/says that? Given how few goals we conceded this season I can’t believe we will make such a big change to this successful system? This has definitely got the feel of a post-season friendly with only our unbeaten record on the line, so I can see why we would try a different system or players in different positions, just for this game, and that’s before the injuries and suspensions situation.

Goldson wouldn’t make my top 4 either. While he has been much improved this season there have been several players ahead of him in my opinion. Davis wouldn’t be in my top 4 either. Tav Kent Morelos Barasic Davis/McGregor Goldson/Aribo/Kamara A fantastic discussion to be having given the high standard and number of magnificent performances from virtually our entire team. Add in significant contributions from Jack, McLaughlin, Helander, Patterson, Balogun, Itten, Defoe, Wright, Bassey, (probably missed a couple as well) and it’s easy to see why we managed to reach the heights we have done this season.

Cheers @Frankie I thought so

Do I need to leave the country to watch on Rangers tv or is the game being shown anywhere else?

Fair enough @Gonzo79 I can certainly agree that i hope anyone going enjoys the day and that it passes off with the only things to report being much joy and gloating!

This level is so far below us that it cannot possibly be advantageous to our young players development. Having seen the quality for ourselves at a level just above this when we were demoted to the 4th tier, I cant see this doing much for our youth development. But if our coaches and managers think this will be better than playing similarly aged players from the other top clubs, or loaning out to a higher level, then i accept they know an awful lot more about what will be involved than I do so I back their judgement. It will certainly be interesting to see how things develop over the coming seasons. I cant say I would be remotely interested in going to any of the games though.

I have two opposing views to this, firstly, why do UB want to march to George Sqaure in the first place. Pubs are open again, celebrate the victory and go and enjoy yourselves with like minded Bears and party in your own places. Why the need for this GIRUY garbage? Screams of look at me. Secondly, we should be afforded the same opportunities to march and be reported in a balanced way, in the same way as the recent George Square marches for Indy & Palestine. But of course we all know we wont be and if will be a repeat of the negative outcry we viewed when the title was clinched some months ago. Given that we know for sure how this will be reported, why would any of our fans want to bring this negative attention on the club and our fans?

Tav for me, quite simply at another level right from the off this season and like most true Rangers captains, led by example on both sides of the ball. As for other nominees, for me it would have been Kent, Barasic, Morelos all ahead of Davis, Kamara, Aribo, and then Goldson and McGregor who was a spectator for large parts of the season before having a few spectacular games as the pressure mounted showing his class. The amazing thing about this season is that there are so many outstanding candidates and about 10 of our players could easily make a 4 man shortlist. I’m reading my fellow Gersnetters comments in this thread and can easily accept that the cases put forward are perfectly valid ones for any number of our players this season, even the likes of Goldson & McGregor who I have 8th & 9th I can see why others have picked them as POTY. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a season like it, but I hope we are having the same happy problem next year, and the year after,.......

Not sure what is incredible about it, but welcome news all the same. I have always refused to renew until the previous campaign has concluded, so I will be renewing mine after the Dolly game in a couple of weeks. I do expect to be able to attend all matches next season in person. Infection numbers are so low now we should be in level 0, but this Nazi government have us in level 3. We should, by the government's own criteria, be allowed to be about half full for the Dolly game, but still we are not allowed anyone inside. It is absolutely disgusting. VOTE THEM OUT! Sorry, drifted off on a tangent there, but this evil cow and her coherts get me riled up!

Yes the league was priority and I’ll be smiling all summer about that, but this hurts, as did that last minute capitulation in Paisley which I’m still not over. Only saving grace was no fans inside tonight to boo them off, as they might have deserved it for tonight’s performance but not in the bigger picture of course, but we all know it would have happened.

Showed a total lack of professionalism and game management in both games. We had chances to take the ball into the corners and run down the clock in both games and we failed to do so. Paid the ultimate price and still haven’t won any cup now for 10 years.

Disgusting from the first minute till the last lacklustre penalty. Not sure how St Johnstone still had enough players on the park to take 5 penalties, total hatchet job with a well known wee Rangers hating shit of a referee. Hope Gerrard doesn’t miss him post match, but also has a go at the players for a dismal performance. Ah well, line of duty is on.

Rangers 3 st j 0 fgs Morelos

Spot on. This is about as successful a season as we can expect. Yes we could have had a domestic treble, or possibly have got one round further in the Europa, but an unbeaten triumphant league campaign coupled with qualifying for, then winning our Europa group, and winning a knock out round for a club of our budget is at the top end of the range of realistic ambition. If we can sell a player and balance our books for the year as well that would be sensational. For next season it is to retain the title, qualify for the group stages of the CL and, depending on the luck of the draw, try to get 3rd place and into the last 32 of the Europa. That would be a successful season in my book.
