Three-in-a-row for the Bhoys

A calamitous 8 days for Glasgow Rangers last night as they were beaten in their final SPL match at Pittodrie and lost the championship to Celtic. On the back of their beating in the UEFA Cup final in Manchester, the hopes of the treble/quadruple have been smashed and they will need to raise themsleves again on Saturday for the Scottish Cup Final. To pour salt onto their wounds, Natcho Novo couldn't handle the goading in the bear-pit at Pittodrie last night and got himself a straight red for a violent tackle born of frustration seconds after Aberdeen put matters beyond doubt with their second goal.

The Bhoys were busy securing things for themselves by winning 1-0 at Dundee United. Against the odds four weeks ago, the much maligned Gordon Strachan has won his third successive SPL title, the first Celtic manager since the legendary Jock Stein to do so. Rumoured to be ready to quit and deeply affected by the death of his mate, Tommy Burns, it will be interesting to see if wee Gordie has a change of heart.
