Raising the Bar
When Connor Barron leaves Easter Road and goes on holiday he'll have plenty to reflect on.
In his first season as a Rangers player, he'll have made 46 appearances for his new club.
At 22, he'll have featured in all three domestic competitions, the Champions League, the Europa League group phase - and earned himself a Scotland call-up.
Not bad for your maiden campaign at Ibrox eh? But the truth is, there's a massive caveat to all of that.
And that is that Barron has no silverware to show for it. In fact, given the turmoil at Rangers this term and failure to seriously challenge Celtic, it's been a horrible year for the club.
The manager who signed Barron, Philippe Clement, is now gone. He's learned a lot from interim boss Barry Ferguson.
But the likelihood is, the midfielder will have a new gaffer to impress come the start of pre-season.
Off the pitch, Barron believes he's coped well with the pressures of being a Rangers player.
But on it - just like everyone else in the Ibrox dressing-room - he knows it's not been good enough.
The squad has massively under-performed which has left them without a trophy - and their city rivals on the cusp of a Treble.
Barron hasn't managed a single goal from the middle of the park, which is something he'll have to improve on.
He's managed two assists - one in Europe and the other in a League Cup semi-final - but none in the Premiership.
So he knows there's work to be done over the summer.
And the good news for Rangers fans is that the former Aberdeen youngster is determined to get better.
Ahead of today's final game against Hibs in Edinburgh, Barron was asked how he'll look back on his start to life at Ibrox.
Obviously, from a personal point of view, I've been really excited with my first season here.
To play as many games as I have and to do what I've done - I've been quite happy with it.
But looking forward, I want to go and do better next season. That's just how I am.
I'm hungry for more now so I'll go away after the game against Hibs and work on my game to be even better again next year.
You've got to stay on your toes here but that should be a given as a footballer.
That's what you've got to do, that's your job. Has this experience been more intense than I thought it would be? I'm not sure.
I just get myself in there and do what I need to do every day to help my team.
That's the way I am as a person and I've just tried to improve as much as I can.
What has been the biggest learning point from this season? A lot, to be honest.
It's probably hard for me to go through them all. I've picked up a lot as a player every day in training.
The standards here are a lot higher than they were at my previous club, so that's one example.
But there have been so many. It's good to have that so you can learn and get better.
