Rangers didn't crack under the pressure then

They were never really under pressure this year.

SFA made sure of that. Making Celtic play games on Sunday evenings that they never had to before was all part of the anti Celtic conspiracy

Heaven forbid they would have to play on a Sunday evening. The horror!

Gas thing is it's really 54 and a 1/2!  ;D

It's #1 as the club was founded in 2012

So that means you lost the title to a team only formed a few years ago.

Isnt that much worse??

A momentus day for the  Ibrox Board-they backed their man for the long term and came up trumps.

The Celtic Board went for the cheap option, expecting the continued dominance to prevail....and were caught out eventually.

The league was won this year with little opposition as Celtic had done for many of the 9.

Its obvious Gerrard wont stay in Glasgow for long, however it will take a considerable appointment from Celtic to stem the overwhelming tide which has seen the transformation in fortunes over the last 3 years.

It won't really tho, Rangers are in debt and danger, unless they get a sugar daddy their troubles could return very very quickly especially if Gérard leaves and takes all momentum with him.

Sure champions league money and the sale of a player will sort them out?

A club in debt and danger beat a club with  the sugar daddy of all sugar daddies who employ a manager not on his ability, but on his acceptance of a contract merely because he had no other suitors.
Momentum in Scottish football is going one way.... thanks to Lennon, Lawell and Desmond.

As was previously mentioned....The Biscuit Tin Mentality aka pay peanuts get monkeys

Maybe if they get a few years of that they'll get back on an even keel, but they're currently structurally unsound. Article from November https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/6315808/rangers-lost-80million-2012-hit-year-new-company/

Passive on the Scottish football meself, get the backdrop and baggage, hostilities and history. But call it as it is, well done Rangers, well deserved, be a lot of people young and old savouring the win and that's what's sport is all about, Celtic fucked up every which way, great memories for Rangers fans during a tough spell for everyone pandemic wise. Anyone with an ounce of sense gets it.

I can't congratulate them. They lived beyond their mean during the 90's and noughties and believe they still are. Wheres the money coming from having been bankrupt 9 years ago. I'm baffled!!

True, morally and financially bankrupt, similar to the Dubs or Man City, but smiles brought to faces for now, Gers will sink again if it's meant to be and the cycle begins again.

Be a cold day in hell before I offer any congratulations to them. They truly are the scum of the earth.

Same, if anything, I'm hoping history repeats itself, last time they got 1 up on us by beating us in a cup semi where they got on their soap box giving it the big one. We went out got BR and won the next 12 trophies available. lets dust it down and go again.

Even if Celtic hadn't messed up, the officials ensured all was geared to Rangers winning the league. They had every advantage including:

- Rangers supporting referees appointed for all bigger  games
- most penalties awarded including soft penalty awards in tight games
- zero penalties awarded against them, the only team in the league to have this privilege
- no players sent off all season despite numerous violent conduct offences. In most incidents the referee cleverly gave just a yellow card so it could not be reviewed thereafter.
- 5 players breached Covid rules and  received police sanctions but the SFA did not postpone any Rangers games like they did with Celtic and Aberdeen
