Rangers fans get chance to grab piece of 9 in a row memorabilia as historic silverware to go on sale at auction

The Bell's Whisky League Championship Trophy from the 1996-1997 season will go up for auction on Thursday June 19 at Glasgow-based McTear's, which is one of the oldest independent auction houses in the UK.

Neither Rangers or Celtic have ever managed to win the league 10 years in a row, and Walter Smith's side were denied that remarkable feet in the following season when Feyenoord legend Wim Jansen's Hoops edged out the Light Blues to claim the crown for the first time since 1988. But the trophy - which is 21 centimetres wide - that Gough held aloft just over 28 years ago will be up for auction at a special event next month. The lucky buyer of the trophy will also receive the piece of silverware in it's original box with paperwork from the Scottish Football Museum verifying it's authenticity. The trophy's estimated value is between £9,000-12,000.

Also on sale at the Sporting History, Important Trophies, Medals & Jerseys event is a Rangers Hall of Fame Trophy that was posthumously awarded to Ibrox legend Davie Cooper following his death in 1995. It's estimated value is between £2,000-4,000. Other items in the auction include rare Rangers programme for a match against Clyde way back in 1947 that could fetch £500 and a Coronation Cup Final programme from the clash between Celtic and Newcastle United in 1953 that is valued at approximately £120.

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."
