RANGERS completed their decade-long journey back to the top of Scottish football but Steven Gerrard insists it’s only the start for him and his history-making squad.

Supporters took to the streets which led to criticism from First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.

But John Bruce emailed: “Every Rangers fan will remember where they were on the day their team’s monumental 55th league title was won – on the park.

“Rangers’ victory over St Mirren was that of a true champions team – emphatic and confident with great goals. And after the game, the news that Gerrard is hungry for more success was music to the ears of every Rangers fan. Let’s go again.”

Joe Graham, Garrowhill, said: “Gerrard will now take his mighty relentless Rangers to Parkhead as champions. Celtic’s players and management will now presumably applaud them on to the pitch.

“There can be no denying Rangers won this title on merit and not because of Celtic’s woeful season. The unbeaten champions won it with plenty in hand.

“They can now concentrat­e on their European adventure for the remainder of the season.”

Robert Livingston­e, Palm Beach, said: “This is as good as it gets. The Light Blues deservedly winning the Premiershi­p by playing an exciting style of attacking football, sweeping aside all before them with ease. They’ve been relentless in their quest and their record-breaking run looks set to continue. It seems amazing to think they were written off by virtually everyone at the start of the season.”

Arthur Wyllie emailed: “The scenes outside Ibrox and in George Square over the weekend were disgracefu­l. Do they not understand social distancing? If

WALTER SMITH has urged Steven Gerrard to follow his title triumph by making an impact on the Champions League next season.

Rangers’ legendary ninein-a-row boss paid tribute to Gerrard’s role in wresting domestic power from Celtic and believes that excelling on Europe’s biggest stage is the next frontier.

Gerrard has guided Gers to the last 16 of this season’s Europa League - they face Slavia Prague on Thursday but Smith knows the Ibrox gaffer will be licking his lips at the prospect of tackling Champions League football next term.

Speaking on the Scottish Football Essential Podcast, he said: “It’s always just a beginning. You win a league championsh­ip and you start again. You get no time to sit back, for one reason.

“For Scottish clubs, the finances are totally driven by the Champions League.

“You go away on holiday and spend half your time on the phone trying to enhance your squad of players by getting a few new ones coming in.

“That recruitmen­t is a massively important part of your job. Once you win a championsh­ip you’ve got to try and enhance your reputation in Europe.

“Steven’s done a great job with his European results. They’ve had fantastic European results.

“Stepping up into the Champions League is another step forward for them, so the first thing Steven will be looking at is to make sure the team is better again next season.

“The directors at Rangers have done a fantastic job getting the club back up to a level but they need help and they’re getting it on the pitch now.

“If you get to the Champions League, your club makes money, and Rangers need that success on the field and Steven Gerrard has brought that.”
