Liverpool have sent a message of congratulations to Steven Gerrard and Rangers after their title triumph.

Steven Gerrard has claimed the first major league title of his managerial career, with Rangers now holding an unassailable 20-point lead in the league table.

Rangers were consigned to Scotland’s fourth tier back in 2012 after financial collapse, but have rebuilt steadily – and have now denied Celtic a record-breaking 10th consecutive top-flight crown.

Rangers cruised past St Mirren 3-0 at Ibrox on Saturday, which brought the title in sight.

And Celtic’s failure to find a winner at Tannadice gifted Rangers the silverware.

Liverpool took to Twitter to congratulate their former captain and said: "Congratulations from all of us at #LFC to Steven Gerrard and his team on winning the Scottish Premier League title."
