It can now be bought and is up for auction on mctears.co.uk. Bidding starts on Thursday, June 19, with the estimated price sitting between £9,000 and £12,000.
The trophy comes with the original box and paperwork from the Scottish Football Museum confirming its authenticity.
As we enter the new 2025/26 campaign, Rangers remain on the hunt for a new permanent manager.
Barry Ferguson took interim charge of the team following Philippe Clement's dismissal.
He won't be getting the permanent gig, though, with names such as Russell Martin, Sean Dyche, and Davide Ancelotti all mentioned in connection with the hotseat.
The latter was previously expected to follow his father, Carlo, to Brazil, although that is no longer the case: "Davide is currently in negotiations with a European team, and it didn't seem right to bring him in," said Ancelotti Sr on Monday evening.
"If he goes to a club, I wish him the best, and if not, he can come back to us."

Rangers to beat Club Brugge with Champions League specialist on form pays 20/1
The Light Blues are gearing up for another huge night of European action and we pick out the best bets Some Rangers fans are fearing the worst as Club Brugge come calling in the Champions League play-offs. Russell Martin 's side keep coughing up chances for the opposition and even League One Alloa managed to score twice at Ibrox on Saturday. Gers have also conceded to Motherwell and Dundee on domestic duty yet they've managed to see off Panathinaikos and Viktoria Plzen in Europe. They kept clean sheets at Ibrox against both those teams but Brugge are a step up in class. The Belgians outplayed Celtic in the group stage last term and were unlucky to emerge from Parkhead with only a 1-1 draw. That's why McBookie make Brugge 13/10 favourites, with Rangers 13/8 and the draw paying 13/5. The price of an away win is tempting but Martin's side have made a habit of finding a way to get the job done at Ibrox. Going for goals looks a better option, with Brugge winning 3-2 in their last European outing against Salzburg. Combining BTTS and over 2.5 strikes in this one pays a best 21/20 at William Hill. McBookie also priced over 3.5 match goals at 7/4. Both these sides like to get the ball down and play so I'd be surprised if we saw a lot of cards. Betting against both teams picking up two or more cards pays a decent evens at Bet365. Djeidi Gassama has been the go-to guy in Europe for Gers, netting four times. The winger is 13/8 at Bet365 to either score or assist and that looks decent. You could double up the ex Sheffield Wednesday man to score at any time during the game and Rangers to win 2-1, which pays 20/1 with SkyBet.

Defiant Derek McInnes reveals what annoyed him as he lays it on the line for Hearts

Derek McInnes emerged defiantly from the aftermath of Hearts' Premier Sports Cup exit at St Mirren and insisted that the result won't derail the club's recent progress. After six wins from six competitive games under their new head coach, Hearts lost 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Paisley on Saturday, and were eliminated at the tournament's last-16 stage for the second year running. Their 63-year wait to lift the League Cup is now extended, however McInnes is adamant there will be no let up in the drive to help Hearts challenge. They finished seventh in last year's Premiership but won their opening two games of this season's league campaign against two of Scotland's European entrants, Aberdeen and Dundee United. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Alex Gogic's first-half volley was cancelled out by Oisin McEntee's headed equaliser for Hearts on 78 minutes at the weekend. The tie ran through extra-time to penalties, and Tynecastle striker Claudio Braga was the only one not to score. McInnes assessed the game and admitted that starting Alexandros Kyziridis, Pierre Landry Kabore and Tomas Magnusson might have been one new signing too many. He told the Edinburgh News that the disappointment won't be allowed to curtail the upward trajectory in Gorgie. 'You are looking to try to get that extra impetus somewhere with substitutions but I thought we were actually fine in the game,' he said. 'In the second half and through extra-time, I felt comfortable that we weren't going to lose a goal. That's obviously a big part of it. I hoped we could win the game but I thought we had to step up. The players worked hard and put everything into the game. I think the fans recognised that. 'We are just at that stage where maybe bringing on a Kyziridis or a Kabore at that stage of the game might have made the difference. We've had Kyzi and these boys making impacts, so that's on me. Maybe we got the game a wee bit the wrong way round. We had a good week. We tried to stretch St Mirren's back five out and thought we could dominate through the middle. We felt we could get our wide players on the ball and get them support, but we have to be honest and say St Mirren were totally different to how they were against Motherwell in their previous game. 'I watched that game and they looked as if they had a tough week. They weren't great against Motherwell and I think they went back to their tried-and-tested, with balls up to their big front two and playing for second balls. I thought they were good at that. I thought they were better than us in that opening period. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Scottish Premiership game next for defiant Hearts 'It's disappointing but it's not going to stop us. It's not going to derail us. We've got so much to play for. We've had a strong start with a lot of positivity and raised expectations. We are fine with that. We lost a narrow cup tie and Scottish football can do that to you sometimes. We played against three teams who finished above us last season. You always try to keep these belts in the mouth to a minimum and it feels like a sore one just now. It's important that we bounce back into work this week and set about trying to win another game in the league to keep that going.' Motherwell visit Tynecastle in the Premiership on Saturday and McInnes is certain to change his starting line-up. He replaced Kyziridis, Kabore and Magnusson at half-time in Paisley. 'I didn't say anything. It was all just about what we wanted to do in the second half,' he explained. 'We played Lawrence [Shankland] up with Elton [Kabangu] and we allowed [Claudio] Braga to drift either side, trying to pick up little pockets of space. We needed to stretch St Mirren's back line. I thought they played a higher line. 'Our reluctance to play the ball forward was annoying me. I thought we started to play the game in a better manner. There's two parts to that. Maybe the personnel allowed that. I thought we were far more aggressive, starting winning more headers and picked up more in the middle of the park. Beni Baningime helped bring more control in there as well. It was a tough afternoon. I never thought we were going to lose the tie once we equalised. At the same time, we have to show a wee bit more belief and intent to go and win a game like that.'

Kairat Almaty warned of psychological pressure facing Celtic
And veteran boss Viktor Kumykov revealed he ordered his Shakhter Karagandy players to listen to recordings of a packed Parkhead at full volume to prepare them for what would await them. Celtic face Kairat in the first leg of the Champions League play-offs with a £40 million prize at stake for progression. The Hoops first played against opposition from the former Soviet nation 12 years ago and they were stunned in the first leg which had been moved to the capital of Astana, where they crashed to a 2-0 defeat. But they eventually beat Shakhter Karagandy 3-0 at home thanks to an injury time winner from James Forrest, with the still-going-strong, highly-decorated Hoops legend proving the hero. Shakhter Karagandy were managed by Kumykov, who is still a boss in Kazakhstan with FC Kaisar. Read more: And he's warned Kairat players what to expect tonight. He said: "It will be much harder against Celtic than against Slovan Bratislava, who they played in the last round, especially away. "They have a chance because the second leg is at home, but it depends on how they cope in Glasgow. "We beat Celtic easily at home, but in Glasgow, we didn't have enough strength. "It was a 16-hour journey, including connections to get there and we conceded in both halves in injury time. "It is important for the Kairat footballers to withstand the psychological pressure. "We prepared in Karaganda by listening to recordings of the sound of the Celtic stands, turning up the speakers at full volume. "In 2013, Celtic were very strong - they beat Barcelona. "They are worse now and I think Kairat have a better chance than we did back then - they are experienced in European football these days."
