Giving Stuart McCall sincere credit, the interim manager worked wonders to drag last season's Rangers squad - kicking and screaming - into the Premiership Playoff Final against Motherwell. There, against his former club, McCall watched in agony as the Lanarkshire outfit ran out 6-1 winners over both games, consigning the Gers to another season in the Championship.

In many ways, there's little difference between the Premiership and the Championship, because both leagues have one big team apiece, Rangers in the latter and Celtic in the former. For many fans at Ibrox, there's very little difference between playing Dumbarton - for example - and Aberdeen, they're just obstacles.

Put it this way, the likes of Kilmarnock, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Ross County and not reasons why Rangers fans want to be back playing in the top flight. Simply put, Glasgow Rangers supporters just want to see their team winning, and that's why it was such a bitter pill to swallow for many when Motherwell turned Rangers over.

Going head-to-head at the top of the Scottish game is what Rangers fans want to see, and they can only do that by being in the Premiership. It's not the teams in it that necessarily matter, it's the idea of winning top flight titles again.
