But the cork burst off the champagne for real at Kilmarnock on Wednesday after a third straight Premiership title was sewn up with a 5-0 win and a performance bubbling over with quality.
As expected, the joy, glory and downright bragging from the Hoops fans was flowing on the Hotline.
Lance Little, Erskine, laid it on thick when he said: “Once again Rangers fans believed their team was good and they had a messiah as a manager. Then the light came back on and really hit home. They saw that they have a bang average team and boss. Once again Celtic sit top of the league. Rangers are in meltdown while we are having fun. The banter years continue.”
Kenny Wilson, Moffat, said: “Another title in the bag with a five- star display. The football at times was outstanding and every player was in top form but Matt O’Riley was different class yet again and Adam Idah was also tremendous. Heading into the Cup Final, if they play like that the Double will be ours. As for all the doubters about Brendan Rodgers, he has delivered yet again.”
