What a fantastic start to what could be an awesome blue day. Have to admit, listening to gerrard just now, he speaks and comes across so well. Bit awkward obviously due to intense Chelsea - Liverpool rivalry but the guy has got something. You don’t win a title unbeaten and with over 100 points under that kind of pressure in Glasgow if you don’t.

f**kin party tiiiiime wooooohoooooo!

Today marks the end of a ten year journey from the depths of Scottish......World football by returning to the throne. 

I can't move for the scene of red white and blue. 

All thoughts and opinions about Steven Gerrard aside, the man has taken that fire and determination from his days in Liverpool and had it pummelled and refined by Govan's  most beloved. There is a mindset at Rangers, a way of doing things and a way of acting  Being. He's been nothing short of a gentleman and a class act from the minute he arrived up here. First number he took was the media and the absolute drivelling hacks pretending to be journalists. Once he taught them a badly needed lesson he went about studying, observing, learning and adapting. 

The end result is legendary. 

Looking at the trajectory, by the time he hits his 50's he will be one of the most respected managers in world football. How he handles himself is nothing but class. The key, is standing by him. He needs time and in time he delivered. 

Gotta admit, having lived up here for the last ten years looking at snp flags being flown everywhere, my soul is smiling at the sheer volume of Union flags flying everywhere. Heart is beating a little harder, lungs taking in a little more air, standing a little taller. Today, is magic. 

Title 55 secure.

This is probably one of my favorite pictures from modern football. 

Captain James Tavernier's journey has been a odyssey of epic proportions. 

Attacked by fans after losing finals during a pitch invasion, confronted by opposition fans throughout his career. Branded a perennial loser from football fans and the media alike. A Captain without a trophy etc. 

Rangers fans would probably admit to saying he wasn't Rangers class not so long ago during his dark spell after taking a monumental amount of abuse from all corners. 

But yesterday, during a pandemic that was breaking a lot of peoples mental strength, Captain James Tavernier walks across red white and blue confetti with the big one in hand, wearing one of the heaviest shirts in the team. 

Picture says a thousand words. A trophy hard fought and well earned. 

Rangers legend right there. 

Said it before I'll say it again, you put three lions on his chest and he'll prove his worth.

Some very well deserved awards below. So many contenders for the awards. Great to see the Ulster Pirlo receive an award from the Greatest Ever Rangers Player. WATP

RANGERS’ Player of the Year Awards Ceremony took place this evening, with an emotional goalkeeper Allan McGregor taking home the big prize, voted for by you, our loyal supporters.

The evening kicked-off with Brianna Westrup claiming the Women’s Player of the Year prize. Defender Westrup has had a superb season for Rangers Women in their inaugural campaign as professionals, playing a key role in their excellent defensive record.

Next up was Academy Player of the Year, and unsurprisingly, Nathan Patterson was announced as winner off the back of his breakthrough season into the Rangers first team, where he made a total of 14 appearances and netted two goals.

From there, it was on to the Sam English Award for top goalscorer, and remarkably with his 19 goals, captain and full-back James Tavernier was the winner.

A number of players who had reached individual milestones over the season were then recognised – Jermain Defoe for netting 300 career goals, Steven Davis for becoming Britain’s most-capped men's player, Alfredo Morelos for setting a new club record for European goals and Allan McGregor for the most Rangers appearances in Continental competition.

Goal of the Season is always one of the hottest discussions, and despite there being so many worthy candidates, unsurprisingly, MyGers members voted for the prize to go Kemar Roofe for his incredible strike from inside his own half against Standard Liege.

Young Player of the Year went to Ianis Hagi for an outstanding first full season at the club while skipper James Tavernier received the Players’ Player of the Year – perhaps the most coveted award of them all for the individuals in the team.

The prestigious John Greig Achievement Award, which recognises an outstanding Ranger who upholds all of what it means to represent the club went to Steven Davis.

Connor Goldson was then presented with the Manager’s Player of the Year prize for his wonderful season in which he played in every single match and accumulated over 5000 minutes of pitch time.

Host Emma Dodds then brought the evening to a close, with Allan McGregor claiming the Player of the Year award, as voted for by the Rangers supporters, on the back of a remarkable season for the goalkeeper in which he helped the club break the Scottish clean sheet record and the British record for fewest league goals conceded at home.


 







 

 
Thought I'd put a note of congratulations here to my other team, Linfield FC who tonight matched Rangers with their 55th Irish League Championship title. The blues also won the Irish Cup last week (for the 44th time) another magnificent double season.  :bluescalf:

A great result for Linfield. Congratulations to them on winning the double. Just needs Chelsea to win the Champions League on Saturday to make a great season even better.

What a great season it's been for these three clubs. More of the same nest season, please.
