"I'd rather score those goals than not have scored at all. I wish the fans had been there to celebrate but that title is a career highlight. When I went to Rangers, I wanted to win the Europa League. Steven Gerrard said, 'No, it's more important to win the league.' It's vital that you're winning domestically so the other side don't win."
"I can't remember the game but when I watched it back on Sky, I couldn't hear the commentators speaking. I like watching games back. Depending on who's commentating, I like to hear their opinion of the game. Ally McCoist was the commentator. When he speaks, I listen to him. I watched the game back and kept turning the volume up on my TV but couldn't hear what he said."
"Then I realised it's because the fans were so loud - they were drowning out what the commentators were saying. They've got the microphone and the comms, so you wouldn't think it would affect them."
Kemar Roofe reflects on Rangers' undefeated 2020/21 season, expressing regret that fans were absent due to Covid restrictions during this historic campaign. His two goals against Celtic came in a 4-1 victory at Ibrox after the title was secured in May 2021. Despite the lack of spectators, Roofe considers winning the league his greatest career achievement. He recalls manager Steven Gerrard emphasizing the importance of winning domestically to prevent rivals from succeeding. Roofe also highlights the intensity of Old Firm derbies, noting that fan noise during matches was so overwhelming it drowned out commentators' analysis, underscoring the magnitude of the fixture.
