[스포츠서울 박병헌 전문기자]Scottish Premiership (SPL) Rangers FC have won the league in 10 years. England Premier League (EPL) Liverpool legend Stephen Gerrard (41) has finally eased his career as a player.
The Rangers confirmed the victory of the Scottish Premiership (SPL) in 10 years on the 7th (Korean time). The Rangers have won the SLP for their 55th time. 2nd place Celtic FC, the old firm’s hardest and winning rival, drew a 0-0 draw against Dundee United on this day, and the Rangers’ championship was decided. This is because the possibility of an arithmetic reversal disappeared as the difference between the two teams’ points reached 20 points with six games left.
In the last 10 years, SPL has been Celtic’s solo stage. This is because Celtic’s power was strong, and the Rangers went down to Part 4 and returned to face financial difficulties. Even after returning to the first part, the Rangers couldn’t find what they were before, and they had to watch the league lose their ninth straight victory against Celtic. The Rangers, however, widened the gap earlier by winning both games of the Old Firm Derby against Celtic, which is aiming for a 10 consecutive league win this season. Celtic scored 20 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses (68 points).
But since the Rangers took over as manager Gerrard in June 2018, it has started to change and has blossomed this season. The championship was confirmed with an overwhelming record of 77 points and 9 runs with an undefeated record of 28 wins and 4 draws (88 points) in 32 matches this season. Moreover, he won the 16th home game.
For manager Gerrard, who first led an adult club at the Rangers, it was a relief from his career as a player. Gerrard, a legend of EPL Liverpool FC during his active career, lifted all the champions league, FA Cup, Europa League and League Cup championship trophies, but he had no relationship with winning the league. However, by achieving the league championship with the command tower, the Han was released.
The Rangers are also in the round of 16, defeating Antwerp (Belgium) 4-3 in the first leg away and 5-2 in the second leg at home in the Europa (UEL) League Round of 32. On the 12th, the first leg of the round of 16 expedition against Slavia Prague (Czech Republic) is scheduled to be played.
