Rangers fans have responded after the club posted a Trophy Day teaser on Twitter on Saturday afternoon.
The Gers were confirmed as 2020/21 Premiership champions way back on 7th March, 61 days ago.
It was a joyous moment for players, staff and particularly supporters after ten years of hurt and the celebrations reflected that.
A lot has happened since then, including two more Old Firm wins as well as disappointing exits from the Europa League and the Scottish Cup.
Chances to secure more silverware may have been missed, but the league title was the main aim this season and given the utter dominance with which it was won, there’s still a real feel-good factor around the club.
Neither skipper James Tavernier nor manager Steven Gerrard have got their hands on the trophy just yet, but their long wait is almost over.
Only two fixtures remain in the season, a trip to Livingston on Wednesday and a home clash against Aberdeen next Saturday, and it’s after the latter match that the trophy will be presented.
With Trophy Day nearing, the official Rangers account tweeted a teaser on Saturday afternoon, writing ‘Next Saturday’ alongside two trophy emojis and an image from inside Ibrox featuring both an official club ‘Champions’ display and the Union Bears’ ‘Kings of Scotland’ banner.
Of course, current restrictions ensure that supporters won’t be allowed inside the stadium for the match or the presentation, but Bears are set to celebrate in their own way next weekend and the tweet got plenty of fans excited.
Here’s a selection of reactions:
