Last season was just important, this season its e sential.David Weir and Barry Ferguson hold the SPL aloft nearly a year agoAmid financial difficulties and uncertainties over the clubs future, winning the league title and securing the jackpot from the Champions League was a basic requirement for Walter Smith at the start of the season. As we approach the near-end of the season, Rangers are breezing clear of the chasing pack with a 10 point gap separating the Gers from their greatest rivals.Another year under Walter Smith should present Rangers with another Al Montoya Kids Jersey League Championship, 53 now in total, but this Championship victory is easily one of the most important in the glorious history of Scotlands most famous football club. The silver prize which should be collected around late April isnt really the attraction for Walter and Rangers, but the 10m cheque which will guarantee Rangers pa sage into the lucrative playground of the Champions League for next season will make the pre sure ease off Rangers from the Lloyds Banking Group.Walter Smith will be expecting to have his Ty Rattie Kids Jersey hands on the same trophyThe fixture list from now until May hasnt been confirmed yet as the Scottish Premier League has the usual Championship/Relegation split which will add a final five matches to the season. Walter Smiths men are 3 games away from fully securing the Championship crown, including two tough clashes against Aberdeen and the in-form Dundee United. There is a dramatic increase in Aberdeens performance anytime they play against Rangers, the 8th-placed side beat Rangers at Pittodrie earlier in the season and the Champions wont fancy a trip back to the Granite City in the split if things begin to depend on the latter matches. After some ropey performances of late, Rangers will need Darnell Nurse Kids Jersey to perform 100 times better than they have done if they are to beat the Dons on Wednesday, as this will be a game which Aberdeen regularly treat as a their cup-final.Before their thumping from St Johnstone, Rangers had already booked Tannadice as their party venue for securing the league title with many Rangers fans buying tickets for the match in hope of seeing David Weir triumphantly lift the SPL title at the end of the night. It wasnt to be and Rangers have to wait a further 10 days if they want to finally get their hands on the trophy Oscar Klefbom Kids Jersey , a suming that Celtic will beat Motherwell the night before. Obviously, if they dont then Rangers can secure the title at Tannadice for the second-year running, the third year in a row the league will have been won at Tannadice. The Arabs are on a fine run of form under Peter Houston and are producing some entertaining football with the promising David Goodwillie catching the eye.After Rangers visit to Dundee, the SPL split will kick-off with the fixtures still undecided at the moment. I would be hazarding a gue s here, but based on the current SPL standings it would be Hearts or Motherwell visiting Ibrox on the first week of the split. The next four fixtures could go in any order to be fair with Celtic, Hibernian Zack Kassian Kids Jersey and Dundee United making the final opponents for Rangers. As for the Old Firm match, the SPL wont want to risk another repeat of the 1999 Title Decider so I would expect that to be penciled in for the second-last week of the season.A world-record 53rd League title beckons for Rangers, a 9th for Walter Smith but Aberdeen and Dundee United will pose stiff tests for Rangers in the coming two weeks which could make for a nervy end to the season for the current and likely future Scottish Champions.
