Rangers fans everywhere came together to celebrate a legendary 55th league title, and they’ve done so again to goad their Old Firm rivals Celtic and an “operational highlight” from last season.

Whilst the Gers team were swanning to a first league title in a decade, the Parkhead side was capitulating in what was being heralded as the most important season in their history.

As Celtic’s bottle crashed, so did the railings outside of Celtic Park as sharks flew, resentment built and Board protests kept Gers fans reaching for the popcorn.

Now, the Ibrox side’s followers are in stitches once again after the release of Celtic’s annual financial report.

Whilst the club have posted a pre-tax loss of £11.5m, unlike many of the Parkhead club’s followers, it’s not the deficit that most Rangers fans are musing over.

We’ll also be leaving that to the abundance of financial regulations experts over the Eastend of Glasgow.

Instead, the claim that finishing second in the Scottish Premiership was an “operational highlight” – in the Parkhead club’s season of all seasons – has Rangers supporters buckled.

We don’t think many Celtic supporters would describe bottling 10IAR and finishing second behind Rangers as an “operational highlight” – but Gers fans clearly would:

Rangers remain favourites to retain the Scottish Premiership title despite a bumbling start to the campaign where the club is yet to hit top gear.

The Gers are a point clear at the top of the Scottish top flight after six games, four points ahead of Old Firm rivals Celtic.

This is despite dropping points at home to Motherwell at the weekend with Celtic falling to a 1-0 defeat away to Livingston, their sixth loss in seven away matches since employing the world-famous Angeball.
