ian1964 10,720 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 By Andrew Dickson KYLE LAFFERTY believes the first championship of Walter Smith's second reign at Rangers can be followed by many more. The Northern Ireland striker played a key role in today's 3-0 victory at Dundee United, a result which gave the Light Blues their first title since 2005. Kyle Lafferty celebratesAfter scoring the opener in the early stages of the game, Lafferty went on to play a big part and was one of many standouts on a magnificent day for the club. Claiming the silverware after four long barren years was a massive relief for Gers, who'll now progress straight into the group phase of next season's Champions League. And Lafferty hopes to build on a success many had said the Ibrox outfit couldn't achieve this term. The 21-year-old said: "You just have to look around at all the fans to see what it means to win the trophy. Everybody is buzzing. "I thought the way we went about our business at Tannadice was great and that we played like champions today. "Georgios Samaras said Celtic were the ones who played better football but at the end of the day, we're the ones who have ended up as champions. "This is the kind of moment you play football for and it's great to be a part of it all. It's just great that we've come out on top. "It's a really amazing feeling. My family were all watching the game back home and I know they'll be proud of me. "This is a moment we'll all really enjoy and I've no doubt this can be the first of many championships we get. I definitely feel that's the case." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a week - hardly the rest of his life. I never did it when I was 21 and played junior football. Anyway, it's a happy day so I'm saying no more. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 846 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 "I thought the way we went about our business at Tannadice was great and that we played like champions today. Couldnt agree more Kyle, that was in the top 3 performances of the season along with Celtic 4-2 and Hibs 3-0. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Gav, he would have been asked by the media to interview. So you think he would have been better to give a "no comment" and look like an even bigger tit ? He is embarrassed by it, he apologised for it, he said he deserved all he got. What more can the boy do ? One thing he CANT do is change what he did. He has to move on and so do we. At least he seems to be trying to. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 846 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 One thing about Lafferty is that was his best performance on the left wing. Id still prefer him upfront next season but he did well on yesterday. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Agree with both Craig and Gribz here. Everyone makes mistakes, his was just a lot more high profile but he had the guts to come out and admit he was wrong and put in a hell of a performance today. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
