Douglas Park in emotional Rangers address as chairman declares ‘unbelievable’ title is just the beginning

Chairman Douglas Park lauded Rangers’ title win and declared the newly-crowned champions are just getting started.

The Ibrox chief addressed supporters on Sunday after Steven Gerrard’s side delivered a first Premiership crown since 2011.

Park, who took over from Dave King at the helm in 2020, hailed an “unbelievable” triumph and vowed to ensure there’s more to come.

“It’s absolutely unbelievable,” he told Rangers TV.

“They have achieved 55 and won the league and I couldn’t be more happy for the club, the supporters and everyone.

“It is absolutely fantastic. It has been a hard, hard road getting there – but we have got there and we obviously want this to be the start of many.

“It was worth it. The time and the effort, it was worth it. We started off on a journey, we started to come through it – its the first title and we have got where we want to be, and now we need to try and do our best to make sure there are many more.”

Park also paid special tribute to Gerrard for delivering ’55’ and insists he’s the man responsible for restoring standards in and out of the club.

He added: “Absolutely magnificent. He has done a magnificent job, and as I have said before in another interview, he has brought standards back to the club – standards inside the club and standards outside the club.”

Deputy chairman John Bennett revealed he knew in his heart the title would return to Rangers when it mattered most.

He said: “It’s everything. It’s just everything. It’s everything to the chairman’s family, to my family and every Rangers family across the land and every other land – we will find them everywhere.

“This is for the Rangers family – a big, big Rangers family. This means everything to me – I know how Douglas’ family are right now and I know how the players are right now.

“This is absolutely everything. This is a milestone – a major, major milestone that we all craved and we did it, we achieved it.

“We knew in our hearts we would achieve this – we spoke about it at the AGM and we knew where we were going, but we are Rangers – this is Glasgow Rangers.”

“This is Glasgow Rangers and you don’t even need to say any more than that and you keep going, you keep winning.”
