Rangers have missed out on a six-figure windfall following today's Championship play-off final.
Glen Kamara and his Leeds teammates fell just short of reaching the Premier League after Southampton came out on top at Wembley this afternoon.
Adam Armstrong fired the south-coast team into a first-half lead with a powerful strike into the bottom corner, and that proved to be the difference between the two teams.
Rangers were due a payment of £500,000 should Leeds have won. This would've triggered a promotion clause in Kamara's contract - who was sold to the Yorkshire club last summer for a fee of £5m.
However, with Leeds falling just short, it means Rangers will not receive the bonus.
The number eight was withdrawn after 72 minutes by manager Daniel Farke.
On the winning team, ex-Rangers star Joe Aribo started on the left wing as he helped his team return to England's top flight at the first time of asking.
Russell Martin - a one-time Rangers defender - will now manage in the Premier League at the age of just 38. He began his managerial career with MK Dons in 2019, before moving to Swansea and then St Mary's.
Scotland international Che Adams was also involved in the game, with the powerful frontman coming off the bench to help see the game out for Saints.
Meanwhile, Rangers player John Lundstram was let away with a 'shocking attempt' of a tackle on Celtic star Matt O'Riley during the final seconds of the Scottish Cup final 2024.
That was the viewpoint of former Celts great Peter Grant.
The ex-defender was on co-commentary duty for Celtic TV at Hampden Park on Saturday afternoon.
And he couldn't believe that Nick Walsh allowed the one-time Sheffield United midfielder to get away with his challenge on O'Riley without any form of punishment in what would've been his SECOND red card in the fixture in as many games.
