The 2008-09 campaign delivered a dramatic domestic double for Rangers as The Gers clinched their 52nd Scottish Premier League title, their first in four years, and secured the Scottish Cup. The championship was won on the final day with a decisive 3-0 victory over Dundee United, capping a relentless title race against rivals Celtic. Spearheading the success was the prolific Kris Boyd, whose league-leading 27 goals earned him the Golden Boot and proved decisive in a season built on the grit and defensive solidity of Walter Smith's championship-winning side.
