Congratulations to Rangers, glad that they won the league, most of my friends support them and I think they were the better team this season. 
yeah, they seem to be the new Hibs in terms of the media's infactuation with them. IMO they are not as good as the team last season, and were awful today (although Rangers came flying out of the blocks today)
Sturrock is a good manager, but has had a lot of health problems recently. As long as they don't go for McInnes, I'm happy but couldn't see that one happening anyway.
Cheers.
We were/are shite and still finished 4th.
Media will be gutted, because they love this Dundee Utd team that we pinched 4th place off.

I don't see us trying to poach McInnes. I expect it to be a former Aberdeen player that gets the job.
Miller started the slide and Aitken continued it, but I don't believe that rumour.
McGhee and Black are the strongest rumours just now.
I expect Aberdeen to go for McGhee and then look at other options if that doesn't come off.
Of course, a deal may already be in place for the new manager.

Yes he is good.
He hasn't played for the first team in a while though. I think all of the over-the-top media hype because he is a good young player at one of the old firm went to his head a bit.
Nonetheless, for a player of his age he has fantastic ability and could potentially become a very good player indeed.
His problems are that he seems to be believing the hype surrounding him and people do not seem to know what position to play him in.

Rangers fans beat Catholic man to death after title win.
Militant Protestant supporters of Glasgow Rangers beat to death a Roman Catholic man after drinking to celebrate their team winning the Scottish title.
Witnesses said more than 20 Protestant supporters of Glasgow Rangers, many of them wearing the team's blue-and-white jerseys and scarves, drove into a Catholic district of the town of Coleraine in Northern Ireland after Rangers clinched the Scottish Premier League championship yesterday (NZT).
Billy Leonard, a former policeman and politician from the Irish nationalist party Sinn Fein, said several carloads of anti-Catholic extremists came armed with clubs "and literally attacked the first person they came across."
Kevin McDaid, 49, was fatally bludgeoned while his wife, Evelyn, and a 46-year-old Catholic neighbor, Damien Fleming, were both injured. Fleming was reported in critical condition.
Police said they arrested seven men on suspicion of involvement in the attack.
A Presbyterian minister in the town, the Rev. Alan Johnston, said Rangers supporters were drinking heavily while watching Sunday's Rangers victory at pubs in central Coleraine and then drove across a bridge to the Catholic area, Somerset Drive.
A Catholic politician in the town, John Dallat, accused an outlawed Protestant paramilitary group, the Ulster Defence Association, of responsibility.
Rangers enjoys support exclusively from the British Protestant side of the community in Northern Ireland, while archrival Glasgow Celtic draws support only from the Irish Catholics.
Those sectarian allegiances fuel street fighting, and occasionally worse, in both Glasgow and across Northern Ireland, particularly when the two teams play each other or when the annual league championship - typically won by one of the two - is determined. Celtic, league champions the previous three years, finished second Sunday.
Police in forensic suits erected a tent to preserve evidence at the spot where McDaid died. Nearby, someone had tied a green-and-white Celtic scarf to a pole, and teenagers wearing Celtic clothing huddled on street corners drinking from beer cans and shouting anti-Protestant slogans.
The officer leading the murder investigation, Detective Chief Inspector Frankie Taylor, appealed to the Catholic minority in the town not to retaliate.
Taylor said the dead man had four children, did volunteer youth work in the town, and had been encouraging local Catholics to cooperate with Northern Ireland's traditionally Protestant police. He described McDaid as "a man who would do anything for anybody."
In Northern Ireland, where Catholics and Protestants attend separate school systems, sports divide rather than unite the population. Protestants back rugby, Catholics their homegrown Gaelic football and hurling.

Surely, more behind this then only football, but still.
