Steven Gerrard insists he will never again let the chance to savour the sweet smell of success pass him by after soaking up every second of Rangers’ champagne moment.

The Ibrox boss was doused with bubbly by striker Alfredo Morelos as new champions finally got their hands on the Premiership trophy.

But Gerrard did not mind one bit as his lifelong wait to get his hands on a league winner’s medal was finally satisfied.

“The players deserve all the plaudits for it. And this fella next to me, James Tavernier, has been through more than most.

“I’m so pleased for him personally – as well as his team-mates – because they’ve given me absolutely everything.”

Rangers rounded off their season in style, with Kemar Roofe netting a double in between Joe Lewis’ early own goal and a late Jermain Defoe strike.

Dons boss Stephen Glass said: “In the first half we weren’t good enough. We showed Rangers a little bit too much respect. We didn’t get close enough to them and allowed them to play.”
