Season 1970-1971
#1
Although I am disappointed that Rangers have failed to regain our top flight status, I am also glad that we have not done this via the Play-Offs.

I have been thinking of Season 1970-1971, when we (who were there then !) were hoping Aston Villa would bounce straight back from the Third Division. We did not, finishing fourth eventually, with a losing (but not disgraced) day out at Wembley for the League Cup Final as a highlight.
The next Season we took the Third Division by storm, with our most wins and highest points ever gained in a Season.

I trust Season 2015-2016 will see Rangers do the same in SPFL2, putting Heart of Midlothian's triumph this Season into the shade !

For Rangers to return to the top flight as (hopefully) unbeaten Champions of SPFL2 would be far more in accordance with the traditions and history of Rangers than to have crawled back in from SPFL2 third place through the play-offs.

We might actually win the challenge cup after all on the way.   Whistle


Seriously, I'd rather have gone up, but in the end we didn't do enough to deserve it so I'm OK with the fact we didn't.

Correct, El Car. The Challenge Cup is there to be won, so that should be a target for next Season too.

Win it and SPFL2 too and Rangers will be the only Club to have won all of the domestic trophies available.

Clutching at straws there Larry methinks. Happy not to get promoted via the play offs- my arse. Think you should stick to supporting Villa as not sure too many bears would agree with your opinion.
