Soccer was back under the floodlights this week http://www.cheapvapormaxflyknitshoes.com/ , and for all the shocks - Wolfsburg beating Real Madrid, an English side looking like they might actually progress to the next round - it was not the Champions League but the Championship that was the biggest story. And let's be clear: We're talking about the Scottish Championship, the nation's second tier. But it was there on Wednesday night that one of the biggest names in European club soccer won back their place in Scotland's top flight.

Glasgow Rangers are back in the big time. After four seasons languishing in the lower reaches of the Scottish professional game, Mark Warburton has got the Gers back in the Scottish Premiership in his first year at the helm. The new manager wasn't the only change for this season. Warburton was hired by a new board that had been voted in just a couple of months earlier in March, and the club ditched 11 players and brought in 16 more after the former Brentford man's arrival. A fresh start proved just what they needed to get out of the Championship following last season's fall at the final hurdle, losing in the promotion playoff final.

The return of Rangers means that the Old Firm is back. One of the fiercest rivalries in soccer, Celtic and Rangers cheap nike vapormax flyknit womens , will be facing one another regularly for the first time since the 2011-12 campaign, a 5-year wait that was unthinkable in a league that the pair dominated prior to the financial crisis at Rangers. Celtic finished 20 points ahead of Rangers to win the league in the last season they were both in the top flight, they've won the three since, and they are expected to add another to their 46 titles come May.

Despite this period of unparalleled dominance for the hooped half of Glasgow, it's arguable that they, more than anyone cheap nike vapormax flyknit sale , need Rangers back in the top tier and, more importantly, competing for trophies. Without their bitterest rivals, Scottish soccer is a one-horse town, but said horse is a pit pony put out to pasture. Without Rangers cheap nike vapormax flyknit shoes , Celtic can be sure they will win the league, which is all well and good for trying to equal Rangers' 54 titles, but it doesn't help them in their quest to conquer Europe. Celtic, remember, were the first British side to win the European Cup in 1966-67 cheap nike air vapormax flyknit , and they won the UEFA Cup as recently as 2002-03.

This is why Glasgow will be united in hoping that Rangers Chairman Dave King gets his checkbook out this summer. Money was promised when he took over but has not been forthcoming so far. It hasn't needed to be in order to get back to the Premiership. It might not even be needed to keep them there cheap nike vapormax flyknit , but it will be needed to get the club back fighting for the league title. The sooner that can happen, the sooner Scottish soccer can return to Europe's elite.
