Watch Rangers fans celebrate title with jaw-dropping Dubai display as world's tallest building lights up for '55' tribute

Rangers supporters in Dubai have shown their appreciation for Steven Gerrard's invincible champions - by beaming a special tribute onto the tallest building in the world.

The Ibrox side wrapped up a memorable season in style by defeating Aberdeen on trophy day to see out the Premiership season without a single defeat.

Captain James Tavernier then lifted the trophy to formally end rivals Celtic's domestic league dominance.

And 24 hours later a group of Emirates-based fans celebrated over in the Gulf by lighting up the Burj Khalifa with an incredible toast to the champions.

Standing at 2,717 feet tall with 160 floors, the hotel and Dubai's main attraction remains the tallest structure ever built.

But that was no problem for dedicated supporters over in the UAE as they projected a video display that took observers through the years up to the club's 55th title this weekend.

Footage of the players partying at their Auchenhowie training base then played before a message reading: "Thank you to our fans."

The North American Rangers Supporters Club hinted at what was to come on Sunday evening when they Tweeted: "Tonight the Burj Khalifa in Dubai will for the first time in history light up with the crest of @RangersFC.

"At 5.55pm UK time Rangers will light up the world. No other club has ever done this, and it is another example of what we as a support can achieve when we pull together."
