An authentic piece of silverware that marked Rangers' ninth consecutive title victory in the 1990s has sold at auction for £20,600 to an unknown buyer.
The Bell's Whisky League Championship Trophy from the 1996-1997 season went under the hammer on Thursday at Glasgow-based McTear's, with bidding starting at £9,000.
The Ibrox-side lifted the trophy at Tannadice on 7 May 1997, after a header from Danish forward Brian Laudrup in the 10th minute sealed a 1-0 victory over Dundee United.
The result secured Walter Smith's team a ninth Scottish Premier League title in a row, equalling the feat achieved by Celtic from 1965 to 1974.
The trophy was presented to Rangers captain Richard Gough on the pitch after the match, while images from the night show star players like Ally McCoist and Paul Gascoigne celebrating with the trophy on the pitch.
