It would not quite be enough to beat Celtic’s 2016/17 record of 106 points, but it would remain an incredible achievement for Gerrard’s side.
As per Transfermarkt, finishing on 101 points would be Rangers’ best Premiership points total in their history.
It would also represent an incredible improvement for the Gers, who finished on just 67 points during the 2019/20 campaign.
It highlights the incredible job that Gerrard and his staff are currently doing at Ibrox, with attention now turning towards a title charge during the second half of the season.
The Rangers manager refused to get carried away after the victory against Celtic, but it looks like the Gers are very much on the verge of history this season.
