When it comes to fake accolades and celebrations nobody does it better than the fake club calling themselves Rangers.
Founded in the summer of 2012 by Charles Green with the backing of Mike Ashley, life has been one long misery since inception as they try to recapture the ill-gotten glories delivered by Dave Murray.
When it came to stepping up to pay only Craig Whyte was up for the task, rolling a pound coin into Murray’s grasping palm as Rangers headed towards the iceberg at full speed.
With each passing season the delusions of fans grow larger, this season they have watched Celtic surpass the trophy total of both Ibrox clubs, December’s League Cup Final defeat on penalties was especially painful.

A draw v Aberdeen, while Celtic are on the verge of 13th Title out of 14.

This season won’t add to the trophy total of three won by the 2012 Tribute Act, all they have left is to delay the party as Celtic wait to claim their 55th title, none shared with Dumbarton.
The party could have started on Sunday but a stoppage time goal from Ianis Hagi means that Celtic will get the opportunity to win the title on the pitch, ironically at Pittodrie.
Hagi’s goal was celebrated like a trophy win by the away support, their players, management and staff.
Murray Park starlet Findlay Curtis was climbing over the dug-out to share his joy with Aberdeen’s VIP fans. Nicky Raskin was acting the big man while the brilliantly named Mason Munn jumped around trying to gain attention.
On the pitch Liam Kelly performed a lap of honour, Captain Disappointed led the serial losers over to acknowledge the Gullible & Deluded after the final whistle, as the filed out of Pittodrie the SPFL Premiership table showed Celtic leading by 15 points and 42 goals with five matches left to play.
With Athletic Bilbao’s shadow side winning 3-1 against Rayo Vallacano on Sunday night it looks like the 24/25 season will be officially over for the Tribute Act by Good Friday.
If that is the case almost every fan of Scottish football will celebrate as a club that lost £17m last season and is on course for £25m of losses this year picks up their consolation money from UEFA.
On Saturday Aberdeen have a match of much more significance, a Scottish Cup semi-final against Hearts and the chance to keep their season active until May 24.
