Steven Gerrard and Rangers fans saluted as title party anthem rockets since Ibrox manager shared playlist

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has been thanked by DJ Owen Westlake for helping to launch his summer anthem 'So Much Love'.

Ibrox fans first heard the dance tune in early March when they gave Gerrard a hero's welcome in Govan on his approach to the stadium for the game against St Mirren.

Against the backdrop of ecstatic fans and smoke bombs it played full blast from the gaffer's car as he rocked up.

A 3-0 win over the Buddies would take them just one point from the league crown.

And Celtic would go on to drop two against Dundee United the following day to confirm title number 55 for Rangers.

Along with the likes of Mental As Anything's 'Live It Up', the song is now an unofficial anthem of the club's Premiership triumph.

And now Westlake's tune is gaining traction as it was named BBC Radio 1's Dance Anthem on Saturday.

But he isn't forgetting who propelled it into popularity and gave Gerrard and the club a shout out on Twitter.

Westlake tweeted: "Yooo yo! So Much Love feat @lloydwademusic has just been made todays Dance Anthem on @BBCR1! Thank you so much @charliehedges and @BBCSounds crew for making this happen!

"Also huge shout out to Stevie G & @RangersFC for putting this record on the map! Summer 2021 lets go!"
