Glasgow Rangers champion Scotland 10 years after their last title

Glasgow Rangers were crowned Scottish football champions for the first time since 2011, following a 0–0 draw by their great rivals Celtic in Dundee, who had won the previous nine titles.

After their win (3-0) against Saint-Miren on Saturday, only one point was missing for a team coached by iconic former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard to secure the trophy. Celtic Glasgow have 20 points with six games to play after winning the draw at Dundee (8th) and therefore can no longer advance.

The title is the crown of a season in which Rangers have been undefeated. They have won 28 of their 32 matches, including all 16 matches at home. It is also the most successful club return to the helm in Scottish history (55th title), a receivership after nine years and an administrative relegation that saw them relegate to the Fourth Division.

The club was revamped, allowing Englishman Steven Gerrard to come and start his coaching career in 2018. This Scottish Premiership title is the first trophy won by Gerrard as a coach, after a busy playing career with Liverpool (1 Champions League, 1 UEFA Cup, 2 FA Cups and 3 League Cups).

A victory beyond health restrictions

On Saturday, the match against Saint-Miren sparked scenes of excitement upon the players’ arrival at Ibrox Park and after their victory, defying the containment measures set by the Scottish government to fight against COVID-19 Was.

“We are very disappointed that the supporters have come together. With a view to controlling the virus, the actions of minority individuals endanger the health of all and the police are mobilized“While Scotland has been confined since early January, a spokesman for the Scottish Government mourned over the microphone of Sky Sports.

Rangers’ coronation in the league ends Celtic’s nine-year rule, which has been crowned every year since 2012.
