NafisaRangers will reflect on what could have been as they face Hibernian on the final day of the Scottish Premiership season.
The Gers have little at stake other than pride at Easter Road, while 51 miles away the celebrations will be in full flow as Celtic welcome St Mirren.
The Scottish Premiership title battle has long been decided, and Rangers supporters, players and anyone linked with the club have simply had to come to terms with that reality.
And not for the first time in recent weeks, Chris Sutton has fired a dig at one notable former Rangers figure as he basks in Celtic’s triumph.
Sutton targets fellow Sky Sports pundit Kris Boyd:
Gers icon Kris Boyd was not included in Sky Sports’ punditry team for the Celtic vs St Mirren fixture, but that didn’t stop Sutton from making him the focus of his pre-match post.
“Looking forward to seeing Kris Boyd and the team at Celtic Park for Trophy Day,” Sutton posted via his personal X account (17 May).
“Join us all paying our respect to Celtic for yet another title party live on Sky Sports.”
Boyd has frequently been mocked by his Sky colleague in recent weeks, and it’s unfortunately something he has had to endure in what has been a dismal domestic run at Ibrox.
Rangers can finish season on slight high against Hibernian:
A Rangers victory over Hibernian, for which a crucial player will be missing at Easter Road, would mark three consecutive wins to wrap up the 2024-25 campaign.
Matches Wins Draws Losses
14 6 4 4
Ferguson’s record at Rangers this season.
That would represent a decent way to close the season, naturally, but it will merely gloss over the deeper issues.
There is still ambiguity surrounding the managerial outlook at Ibrox, while the new ownership has yet to be officially confirmed.
All Rangers fans can wish for is a significantly improved 2025-26, and perhaps the tables will turn regarding these Sutton and Boyd jabs.
