Nine in A Row
Rangers had previously won nine titles in a row before during the period directly before and following into the Second World War. However the league championships won during wartime are not officially recongised. Due to the depletion of the squads as players left to help with the war effort, the Scottish Football Association suspended legitimate competitions and set up regional league competitions in their place.

Famous quotes containing the word row:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
