The season started fantastically - first game I hammered champions Rangers 5-1 at Ibrox, and won six out of my first seven. Things slipped after that, andafter xmas I was still in 4 ompetitions and injuries and suspensions meant I dropped to 3rd. However, a late run got me right back into contention and I was a point behind Rangers going into the final game - at home to Rangers. I was 3-0 at HT and won 3-1 :cool: Champions!
