Rangers trophy day revealed as Premiership champions face Aberdeen at Ibrox in final league fixture

It has been in the works for months but Rangers finally know the date when captain James Tavernier will get his handed on the title.

Despite being crowed as champions of Scotland on March 7, fans have yet to see the the Premiership title draped in red, blue and white ribbons.

It's been a over a decade since the club kept the silverware in the Ibrox trophy cabinet, but supporters will have to wait just a bit longer until the title is official back in Govan.

It looks set to be a low-key affair with fans still unable to attend the celebrations inside Ibrox, but when Steven Gerrard' s side face Aberdeen on May 15 they will be presented with the trophy.

The game will be an early kick-off at 12.30 and televised on Sky Sports.

The game at Ibrox will round off a successful season where the league leaders were able to wrap up the title early doors as they hold a 20-point lead over second-placed Celtic.

It has allowed the SPFL plenty of time to plot out fixtures with skipper Tavernier lifting the title four weeks after facing John Kennedy's outfit.

They will face a Dons side hoping to still be in the hunt for third place, though their hopes were dashed by defeat to Dundee United on Saturday while Hibs drew with Livingston to go seven points clear.

Those two sides will face off on Wednesday May 12 - the same day Rangers travel to Livingston for their penultimate Premiership fixture.
