Jeff Holmes Jeff Holmes Just Champion: The Stories Behind Rangers’ 2020/21 Title Triumph tells the tale of a league title win against all the odds. Rangers were ridiculed in 2018 when they appointed rookie manager Steven Gerrard. But slowly, and methodically, he transformed Rangers into a machine, and one that would completely dismantle Celtic’s hopes of landing an unprecedented tenth successive title. Now, 30 members of the Rangers family - from ex-players to loyal supporters - tell their stories of how the title came home to Ibrox. Title Triumph 2020/21 Behind Rangers’ The Stories Mark Walters, Marco Negri and Lisa Swanson are among the players The Stories Behind Rangers’ featured, as are former directors Dave King, John Gilligan and Paul Murray. Add to this Andy Cameron MBE, Sir Brian Donohoe and even 2020/21 Title Triumph one of Her Majesty’s Ambassadors, and the cast list grows more impressive by the minute. TV stars, restaurateurs, coaches, entertainers; they’re all here in one book. You will laugh, cry and marvel as each individual tells their tale. And what connects this anthology of stories is each individual’s unequivocal love of a football team. And that team is Glasgow Rangers.
