I'm having a gin; it's just a gin; but its colours.... ....they are fine

Someone once said a journey of 1000 miles starts with one small step well our journey on the Ibrox Express began at Peterhead central we had a few breakdowns on our travels a few changes of drivers but as we get ready to pull into Ibrox central I wont forget our fans and their part on this journey they have spent small fortunes following the team and filling stadiums up and down the country, so well done lads .

Oh to be able to be in my ST seat and see them run out of the tunnel is now top of my bucket list.??

Thank you Mr King and the board of directors. Thank you Steven Gerrard and your excellent backroom staff. Thank you Captain James Tavernier and all the players, yous have been utterly relentless this season, and are well deserved Champions. Yous have all elevated yourselves to legend status, the immortals, the ones who regained the title and delivered 55 and ensured a special place in our deep, rich history. To those we have lost along the way (especially Sandy Jardine), I hope you are up there celebrating today and we offer a toast to absent friends. To us, the fans, the lifeblood of the club, we never gave up hope, we followed near and far and we have just completed stage 1 of the journey. The journey never stops / ends. Enjoy this, oh really enjoy this and make sure everyone hears / sees you celebrating. However it should be the beginning and not the end (Yeah, I'm emotional ? ). ??⚪?????????? ?? #55times #scotlandsgalantfew #followwewill

I'm actually crying man. Can't belive what I witnessed the past 9 years, Enjoy the moments my fellow bears, we deserve this moment. Please stay safe

Congratulations to a fantastic team and a great wee forum, so glad I could spend the journey with all you guys , hope your having a ball .

Let's not worry about that tonight. Relax and enjoy yourself.

They couldn't get the highlights of the game off quick enough. Can't wait till the flag gets raised and they don't have any footage!

Well, for a few years now, one thinks forward to the moment it finally happens, what you might do and all. Yet, as it now has arrived, you`re just an emotional wreck. ? ? Here`s to 55 and the greatest club on the planet!

The sons are in the house the brothers on his way I think I will open a mcallan for their celebration

Of all the unforgettable moments and matches/places I'd like to forget since admin, that first match at Brechin will stay with me.

I'll bet you £1,000,000 we don't get any points next weekend.

I quite like this. No f*cks given. It's how it should be.

Very much so. That's why I came back here - to see all you on this forum who helped me through the deep, dark years celebrating as you so deserve to do. Manly love to one and all

I've played a blinder.

And now for a nice little friendly at Parkhead a week on Saturday!?

Three and easy puts Rangers on the brink of history Goals from Ryan Kent, Alfredo Morelos and Ianis Hagi ensured a 3-0 win against St Mirren which has all but secured the SPFL title for Steven Gerrard and Rangers – the club’s first top flight title since 2011. If Celtic fail to win at Tannadice on Sunday then Rangers will be officially confirmed as the new champions of Scotland. The reality, however, is that Rangers are on a points total which Celtic can only match if they win all their remaining games and Rangers lose all theirs – and even if such an unlikely scenario plays out, Celtic still have to turnaround a goal difference deficit of 26. Let nobody tell you otherwise – Rangers are the champions of Scotland. The importance of that achievement was reflected by the huge numbers who gathered outside Ibrox this morning, defying the current lockdown rules in doing so. Fans started gathering from the early hours and by the time manager Steven Gerrard and his players arrived at the stadium they were left in no doubt of what this title means to supporters, with flags, scarves and flares filling the skyline on Edmiston Drive. It was a show of emotion almost ten years in the making – but you suspect it will lead to negative headlines for the supporters and the club, with the Scottish Government quick to issue a statement condemning the gathering. Such issues are not within Steven Gerrard’s remit and he focused on making sure his players were ready for the challenge of St Mirren, making one change to the team which won at Livingstone on Wednesday night with Ianis Hagi coming in at the expense of Scott Arfield. Gerrard would take in the game from the Directors Box having accepted a one match ban for his sending off on Wednesday night at Livingston. St Mirren remain the only side to beat Rangers this season and arrived at Ibrox having lost only two of their last ten away games. But Rangers took control early on in proceedings with Joe Aribo having a powerful strike at goal from outside the box which Alnwick gathered comfortably. Rangers took the lead after 13 minutes after some impressive stuff from Gerrard’s side led to Ryan Kent collecting the ball outside the box. The winger shaped to his right foot, then switched to his left before firing the ball into the bottom corner of Alnwick’s goal with the former Rangers man rooted to the spot. Rangers doubled their lead just two minutes later when Ianis Hagi played a nice ball to Kamara, who sent Morelos through with a brilliantly weighted pass which allowed the Columbian to swivel and hit his shot beyond Alnwick to secure his fourth goal in as many games. Rangers looked like they were seriously in the mood at this point but were reminded of the threat of St Mirren on 33 minutes when Dylan Connolly burst through on goal but dragged his shot wide. Connor Goldson then came close to making it three seven minutes before the break. The big defender has been a constant threat at set-pieces this season and he got on the end of a Borna Barisic free-kick, only to loop his header just past the post. Rangers finished the game as a competition within seconds after the restart through a well worked goal which Ianis Hagi finished off. Ryan Kent and Joe Aribo had a great one-two down the left flank which put Kent clear. His low cross was received by Hagi who had time to take a touch and before sending Alnwick the wrong way. Ryan Kent then had a shot from distance which bounced awkwardly in front of Jak Alnwick, forcing him to unconventionally kick the ball over the bar for a corner. Steven Gerrard then made the first of a few changes, introducing Leon Balogun and Scott Arfield for Helander and Davis. Allan McGregor has been a vital component for the success of Rangers this season, and he provided another reminder of his importance when he saved brilliantly from Jonathan Obika who had attempted to deftly guide a shot into the corner of the net. Gerrard introduced Jermain Defoe, Scott Wright and Greg Stewart in the closing stages and Stewart and Defoe came close to securing the fourth on a couple of occasions, with Stewart setting up Defoe for a shot at goal which Alnwick blocked, then nearly repeating the move only for Shaughnessy to cut out Stewart’s cross as Defoe looked set for a tap-in. Scott Arfield had the game’s final chance when he fired a shot which Alnwick tipped over the bar. The final whistle brought scenes of joy and a sense that, although not totally official yet, Rangers are over the line and are champions in all but name. The feeling that this was a defining moment was cemented when the players made their way to the blue gates between the Copland Road and Bill Struth stands to acknowledge the fans gathered outside on Edmiston Drive. An emotional Steven Gerrard said afterwards: "It was a really good performance, really mature, really controlled. "Coming into the stadium there were a lot of fans about and that can take you to an emotional place, and you can take your eye off the ball, but credit to the players, they stuck to the plan. "We were deserved winners, had more chances to score more, but were in control from start to finish, score three wonderful goals, and thoroughly deserved our victory. "In terms of the league at home we've been perfect. Not every performance has been perfect, but it has in terms of results. The players deserve a lot of credit for keeping their focus and trying to stay humble. "There is still a lot to play for, the league is all but done but we will try to finish the season as strong as we can until the end, there will be no letting up. It's my job to make sure the players are ready for every game." RANGERS: McGregor; Patterson, Goldson, Helander, Barisic; Kamara, Davis, Aribo; Hagi, Morelos, Kent SUBS: McLaughlin, Bassey, Simpson, Defoe, Itten, Wright, Stewart, Balogun, Arfield ST MIRREN: Alnwick, Tait, Shaughnessy, McCarthy, Fraser, Erhahon, Doyle-Hayes, Durmus, McGrath, Connolly, Quaner. SUBS: Lyness, Flynn, Reid, MacPherson, Henderson, McAllister, Jamieson, Erwin, Obika. REFEREE: Steven McLean

Gets you like this, doesn't it??

We're not playing next weekend...

Watching highlights again on Sportscene and how good is Morelos finish at second goal?

Nine years ago the late Sandy Jardine was an inspiration as our club fought for its very survival. Sandy must be looking down tonight a very proud man indeed. God bless and thanks Sandy. This has been a long time coming and your efforts will never be forgotten.

I share a surname with Steven Gerrard (no relation as far as I know) and grew up in the same Merseyside borough (Knowsley, although he was from Whiston and I lived in Halewood) so this is a great time for me. Nobody can now say he has not won a league title. And he won it despite being outspent and (according to the experts) outgunned by Celtic. Seeing off Lawell and Lennon makes it all the better.

I find myself reflecting on all those in the Rangers family who didn't make it to the end of this journey. The many fans and ex-players who passed away during these ten years who can't share this achievement with us. Some were prominent names, others who were extraordinary only to their own families. I hope every one of them is raising a glass wherever they are tonight. It's also remarkable how many ex-players have echoed our delight over the last few hours, some of whom haven't pulled on a Rangers shirt in many decades. I find that quite touching.

Not wanting to piss on anyone's chips but Liverpool just lost to Fulhum - Klopp form the chop? Someone switch SGs phone off ?????

I hope Liverpool go through the rest of the season winning every game by many goals. Klopp is a wonderful manager. No need to replace him.

Should have done it today

Popped out to get some supplies. The crossroads at the centre of town is crammed with good honest patriots, smiling faces and blue smoke.

Aye. You can send me a bottle.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mr Gerrard. Was beginning to think I wouldn’t see it.

I might have heard it incorrectly but sure SKY said it's at Parkhead - that'll be fun ? Would imagine our next / or last home game?

I reckon you'd enjoy this one...

Kent for me but it was a good all round team performance

Gatherings are inevitable. Celebrate however you want - the Scottish press will find a way to portray it in a negative light whatever we do. When our Justice Minister figures out what an apostrophe is for, we can take him more seriously.

Get Sturgeon to end lockdown.

I think the question that springs to mind is...how is this league be celebrated? I hate to sound negative but I can already see headlines regarding socially irresponsible Rangers fans gathering during a pandemic to celebrate. What can be done to avoid this?
