Rangers loanee scoops title glory as parent club lose 'world's most successful club' tag after Ibrox teammate's winner

Rangers loanee Jake Hastie has helped Linfield take his parent side's 'world's most successful football club' label by winning the Irish Premiership title.

A 2-0 win over Coleraine helped David Healy's side on their way to the feat, claiming Northern Ireland's coveted prize for the world-record 56th time.

The current Scottish Premiership champions had held the mantle with 55 titles but Linfield now move past them with their feat.

Hastie started on the bench as former Motherwell teammate Ben Hall opened the scoring.

Another familiar face got the winner to win the league by a single point, Rangers youngster Chris McKee netting before half-time.

Following a move to the Light Blues in 2019 after a good run of form at Motherwell, the attacker from Law has had loan spells with Rotherham, the Steelmen and Partick Thistle.

He's made nine appearances for Linfield with three assists.
