Steven Gerrard has his sights set on more silverware with Rangers as First Minister Nicola Sturgeon denounced the "infuriating" and "disgraceful" gatherings in Glasgow that greeted the club's Scottish Premiership title triumph.

Gerrard celebrated winning his first managerial trophy on Sunday after Celtic's goalless draw at Dundee United meant the Hoops were left 20 points adrift of their bitter rivals with six games in the season still to go.

While Gerrard expressed his pride at what his side have achieved, the former Liverpool captain is already looking ahead to Thursday's Europa League last-16 first-leg showdown against Slavia Prague.

"It's been a hard, hard road getting there, but we've got there and obviously we want this to be the start of many."

Managing director Stewart Robertson added: "The ups and downs we've endured over the last six years have been something else. We always had a plan, we always knew where we wanted to get and how we thought we could get there.

"A few twists and turns, but days like today make it all worthwhile. You can see the progress we've made. The key thing now is not to stop, we need to keep progressing. This is just a staging post for pushing on further."

Rangers first-team coach Michael Beale paid tribute to former Light Blues boss Ally McCoist, who was manager when the club were relegated to the Third Division.

He said: "Ally leading us started the rise for the club. I think of people like him because they're what make our club what it is. Well done to everyone that's been part of it and let's really celebrate this and then go for more."
