The Rangers win came on a second half goal by Nacho Novo and the mighty Ranger defense held on to secure the 1-0 victory over Falkirk. The win was particularly striking since Rangers starters Maurice Edu and Pedro Mendes were held out of the Scottish Cup championship due to injuries. But the Rangers were determined not to let down after last week's dramatic victory over Dundee United to clinch the Scottish Premier Championship.
After difficult times in the 2008-09 season, including a seven-point deficit in December, the Rangers came back in all of their royal blue glory to win a domestic double (League Championship and Cup Title). Musings from Maytown still believes that the Scottish Premier League has a pro-Celtic bias, since Kris Boyd of the Rangers was passed over for League Player of the Year for a Celtic player. The terrible officiating in the Hibs game was likely due to an official's bias.
We notice that the English Premier League is reopening discussion of inviting the Rangers and Celtic to join the English League. No question, in time, the Rangers would be competitive with any team in the English League, but the majority of Rangers fans seem to want the Scottish team to remain in the Scottish Premier League. Musings from Maytown does hope that Rangers will use this discussion as a bargaining chip to obtain better treatment from Scottish Premier League officials.
On to 2009-10 for another championship year by the Glasgow Rangers.
