STEVEN GERRARD has been crowned as Premiership Manager of the Year after leading Rangers to their 55th title this term.
The champions will be presented with the top flight trophy following their final fixture of the campaign with Aberdeen on Saturday.
And Gerrard's side have the chance to mark their achievement by securing an Invincible league term as they set their sights on a place in the history books.
Gerrard was this week named as the Scottish Football Writers Association Manager of the Year and he has now picked up the League award as well.
He said: “I am delighted to receive this award on behalf of my coaching staff and back room team. Our relentless pursuit of success has ensured we have achieved our 55th league title for Rangers.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
