WRECK THEIR PARTY

I hope Gers players watched every second of Celtic's title celebrations... it should fire them up to kill Hoops' Double dream at Hampden

THERE was no shortage of options to feed my football fix on Wednesday night but the TV was only set for one game Celtic at Kilmarnock.

No matter how painful, how torturous I knew it was going to be. And believe me, the last day has been excruciating for everyone connected to Rangers after Celtic secured the title.

But you know what? I made myself sit through it all. I took in every minute of the game and the celebrations.

With a clenched jaw and furrowed brow I sat and watched Celtic players dancing, singing and celebrating with their fans - and refused to turn off.

Why? Because this has to be the driving force now.

If I was still pulling on a Rangers top then those scenes would be the motivation for me to do everything in my power to stop Celtic at the next possible opportunity. And that just so happens to be the Scottish Cup Final in eight days' time.

Brilliant. What a chance to have the last say on the season and be the ultimate party poopers.

OK, it's not the big one that everyone wanted, the league title. But I'll tell you what, the Scottish Cup is a huge honour and the last Old Firm Final back in 2002 is probably the best game I have ever been involved in.

People dub it the Lovenkrands Final because Peter scored the last-minute winner - but I prefer to remember it for my exquisite free-kick! Seriously though, what an occasion, what a game and what a win. Both teams had fantastic players but our Rangers side wow. The characters in that team were huge.
