The Gers’ status as Premiership champions was confirmed last Sunday after Celtic could only draw 0-0 with Dundee United. In the aftermath, thousands of fans took to the streets of Glasgow to celebrate the triumph, breaking lockdown regulations along the way, while there were even reports of public property being damaged (Sky News).
Ahead of the Old Firm derby next week, Gerrard penned an open letter to Gers fans to implore them to stay at home for the match. He started the letter by thanking fans for what they had done for him since he joined the club in 2018, writing: “Firstly, I want to place on record my thanks for everything you have done for me, my management team and my players since I arrived in Glasgow in May of 2018.”
