Smith hails Gers’ ‘special’ title win

WALTER SMITH secured his ninth title for Rangers with a dramatic 1-0 victory over Hibernian in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League yesterday – then admitted this one was “a wee bit special”.

The waiting was finally over for the Gers as they sealed their second consecutive title at Easter Road with three games to go thanks to a Kyle Lafferty goal.

Smith is no stranger to winning silverware, having guided Rangers to seven of their nine in a row championships in the 1990s.
