Nigerian duo, Joe Aribo and Leon Balogun’s club Rangers have won the Scottish Premiership title for the first time in ten years.
Steven Gerrard’s Rangers, won their 55th Scottish top-flight title after Celtic’s 0-0 draw against Dundee United at Tannadice on Sunday officially ended Celtic’s bid for 10-in-a-row.
Celtic needed to take maximum points from their trip to Dundee United after Rangers’ 3-0 win over St Mirren on Saturday took them to the brink of securing their first Premiership title since 2011.
To compound matters for Celtic, a plane carrying a banner reading “Can you see us now?! #55titles”, presumably arranged by Rangers supporters, flew over the stadium just minutes into the match.
It means that Rangers’ first league outing as this season’s champions will be at Parkhead on March 21.
Ryan Kent, Alfredo Morelos and Ianis Hagi scored against St Mirren as Rangers continued their unbeaten Premiership run against the only side to have managed to get the better of them at home and abroad this term, in a 3-2 League Cup win in December.
It is Steven Gerrard’s first trophy as Rangers manager after taking over in Govan in the summer of 2018.
He and his players were met by thousands of Rangers supporters at Ibrox ahead of the game on Saturday as crowds gathered to let off flares and hang banners near the stadium, breaking lockdown restrictions.
