So here the journey really does end, nine years after the clubs in the SPL and SFL took an unnecessary decision to put the country's foremost club in it's place and share the kudos of lording it over the "bigheads and bigots" at Ibrox. No one will ever convince me that what Rangers was put through was motivated by anything other than envy and bigotry, nowhere more so than amongst the Scottish nationalist and pseudo-Irish communities. There should be no doubt either that many of those who pulled the rug out from under us were quite prepared to see Rangers extinguished altogether. You just know that after nine years of struggle and disappointment, there are still many in Scottish football who see this, our day of glory, as their failure and a profound disappointment. You might think this is a day of renewal and forgiveness when we should put the past behind us but I think not. If there's one thing we should never forget as we enter a new era for Rangers, it's the fact that those we have to share this league with and those who administer the game are the same people and clubs who would have destroyed our club. For me, that day nine years ago ended any respect I had for the rest of Scottish football and that's a fence that will never be mended. You might like to think there are one or two who will see the league trophy raised at Ibrox and feel a tinge of guilt or remorse .... but I doubt it. Enjoy the day, celebrate to the full, it's been a very long time coming. But never lose sight of why we went through all that pain and for God's sake don't be the people who line up to criticise bears who want to take to the streets to mark what is our equivalent of reaching the summit of Everest.5 points

An easy mistake to make. Actually, although this is little known, Kant was a keen savouries man; no lover of the Bourbon Cream, he. In fact he devoted a whole volume to savoury cuisine: A Critique of Practical Seasoning (1788). You're welcome.5 points

Hypothetically I could have attended 3 mass gatherings in Glasgow over the last 4 days, all currently against Government Covid Guidlines. The narrative from the press and Government is differs remarkably ; Thursday - we were actively encouraged to attend. Maps were put on social media. Pleas to attend posted on social media. Result police and public put at risk from Covid and physical harm. Narrative - well done citizens, brave Scots face down the establishment and general high fives from Holyrood. Saturday - warned not to attend. Putting everyone at risk, Covid situation too volatile. Police and public put at risk from Covid and physical harm. Narrative - big bad Rangers fans, sectarian bigots, racists, strip the titles, further action, harsh punishments etc. Sunday- pre-planned demonstration allowed and encouraged to proceed even given the events of Thursday and Saturday. Police and public put at risk of Covid and physical risk. Narrative- silence from press and Government. Move along, nothing to see here, a worthwhile cause etc. Only in Scotland.4 points

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 2012.4 points

You cannot seriously be comparing both? I was proud as f of us yesterday, proud of our fans with the red display along the Clyde, the red white and blue smoke bombs outside Ibrox, was absolutely brilliant, fireworks going off while we were taking the sheep apart once more. But I will not for a minute identify with the fuckwits that soured our name by their behaviour in George Square.3 points

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.3 points

One day Sturgeon is telling people to gather to stop civil servants doing their job. Two days later she's kicking off about another gathering. Hardly worth taking her or her pal with the Celtc hoodie seriously.2 points

the neds will rightly get arrested and charged. Sure it's embarrassing and predictable but it's done. the celebrations should continue all summer though.2 points

It's all mock outrage. The BBC got eveyone except uncle Tom Cobbley to voice a shocked opinion. If the SG wants to get Covid under control then they should focus their ire on the large numbers within certain communities that are steadfastly refusing to get a vaccine when offered. And if the SG wants people to respect its wishes then it should be even handed in its response to gatherings. People know they are taking the piss so will do so as well.2 points

First title in years but now have to read about disorder from a group of fans. Utterly sick of this attitude. Why the feck did they feel the need to go George Sq.?2 points

Many thanks to @Rousseau for this. My 1st season as a Gersnetter and have thoroughly enjoyed the GPL. Just edged out of a top 10 finish yesterday. Pleased I completed all 57 entries! Great bit of fun. Greatly appreciate your efforts!2 points

Good to know that in the games against the scum/sheep the fans who despise us most the last two saw us win 8-1 on aggregate score,good training ground practice for us as well.2 points

That was unlucky. Close but no cigar as they say. West Ham form has ended, ran out of steam at the last furlong. Top 4 was a tough ask but 5th would have been great. Now if Spurs win today it will be a fight with Everton for 7th.2 points

Where ever and what ever you are doing tomorrow to celebrate this wonderful achievement, enjoy it, savour it but most importantly stay safe. Some of our enemies thought this day would never arrive, they tried to destroy us, they failed. Glasgow Rangers Champions and the league trophy is FINALLY back where it belongs.2 points

Sorry forgot to post this yesterday amongst all the cider excitement. First 15mins of the 2nd half aside, it was another good team performance, even if the subs perhaps killed any momentum at times. Probably has to be Kent for me; Roofe scored two good goals but had some poor moments whilst Kent is just a delight to watch.1 point

It's hardly news that we've got some neds and arseholes in our support. Turn up at Ibrox on a European night and you'll see them. It's also hardly a surprise that there was some trouble at George Square caused by a small minority. That was predicted by many, as was the SNP's hypocrisy on the issue. If anything, I'm surprised there wasn't more trouble and the police weren't more heavy-handed.1 point

Another occasion I was there was an "all of the above" option. Voted Roofe for his 2 goals but there were plenty of contenders1 point

Not sure why the club would be responsible. Rangers made some perfunctory statements as requested. Almost as if you can't dissuade people from a certain course of action. All of the knicker wetters can ram it.1 point

Some stats, if you're interested. I always find them interesting. There's always some players that have a knack for it, but don't play enough to challenge. And, of course, there's always players that do better with FGS or CRG.1 point

When I was wee a pack of penguins had all different coloured wrappers (these days the whole pack are red - wtf?) and apparently when they were getting doled out, I would only accept a blue one. I clearly had good taste from an early age.1 point

Angela Haggerty's Tweet : "I'm getting really annoyed with folk equating yesterday's anti-immigration protest with Rangers fans' right to public celebration. If the protesters had been drunk, smashed up a few benches, let off fireworks, Police Scotland would have thrown them a party. So there's a big difference". If dearest Angela cares to look out her Tollcross window, she will see a large biscuit factory, 'McVities'. It's been there for 120 years, it employs 500 fellow East Enders. Current owners, Pladis announced they will close said factory next year with the resultant loss of jobs and standard of lives. I expect Angela to lead the protest against the closure, Palestinian flag in hand? If several hundred can fill the Pollokshields streets for two men in the gig economy exceeding their visas by in excess of a decade, then Tollcross should have several thousand stopping 500 being made redundant? So far, Angela has Tweeted nothing about McVities, just like her fellow Nationalists, she doesn't do bad news.1 point

No Willie Waddell? No Scot Symon? And, given the sentiment expressed, no Steven Gerrard? Good effort; but must try harder.1 point
