Rangers won a tightly contested Scottish Cup final 3-2 against Queens of the South to win their 32nd trophy since the inception of the tournament in 1874.
Queens of the South started with the same 11 that beat Aberdeen in the last four. Rangers were without the suspended Nacho Novo, and the injured pair of Chris Burke and Steven Naismith
The 10th season of the Scottish Premier League, the first to be sponsored by Clydesdale Bank, ended on May 22, 2008 with Celtic winning their third consecutive title. Tied on points going into the final round of games, the Bhoys beat Dundee United thanks to Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink’s header but Walter Smith’s Rangers lost 0-2 at Aberdeen, ensuring that the title stayed at Celtic Park.

Sir Alex’s second Champions League title, coming fifty years after the Munich air crash, sees United complete the double, with Roman’s Chelsea ending the season empty handed.
