The Gers defeated Dumbarton 1-0 on Tuesday night to secure their return to the top-flight after they were demoted to the fourth-tier in 2012.Rangers and rivals Celtic go head-to-head in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup on April 17 - live on Sky Sports - but the fixture will once again be a regular occurrence from next season, something Souness feels can only benefit the domestic game. Graeme Souness says its great news Rangers have been promoted back to the Scottish Premiership No one can argue its not been bad for Scottish football for Rangers not to be in the Premier League, said Sky Sports football expert and columnist Souness.If the shoe had been on the other foot, I am sure Rangers supporters would have celebrated Celtic having the same problems.But thats the short-term outlook because Celtic, since Rangers went down, have not really had a challenge. Rangers fans talk about their delight as their team were promoted back to the Scottish Premiership Theres been a bit of a challenge from Aberdeen but its not been sustained.[Virgil] van Dijk, [Victor] Wanyama, [Fraser] Forster, three of Celtics better players, have gone. Do Celtic sell them if Rangers are still a challenge? No. That means the quality of football that Celtic fans are watching has diminished. Dont take my word for it, take a look at the gates at Celtic Park since Rangers have not been in the big league. Rangers Harry Forrester celebrates promotion The profile of the Premier League in Scotland has been diminished, its not as interesting to people outside of Scotland as it was when Rangers were there.Theres not the same interest from television companies and other media outlets. Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, Rangers manager Mark Warburton insists his side wont become complacent following their promotion back to the Premiership As much as people have enjoyed the demise of Rangers and the damage to Rangers, they are shooting themselves in the foot and if they are thinking any differently, they are kidding themselves on.Watch Rangers v Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-final.

Halifax beat the Saint John Sea Dogs 7-5 on the strength of two goals apiece from Nikolaj Ehlers, Matt Murphy and Brent Andrews.

FRANKFURT, Germany -- Only four matches into the season, the Bundesliga is proving eventful with one coach sacked, a couple more under pressure and some positive surprises so far.One thing remains constant, though: Bayern Munich is already two points clear at the top of the table as the German powerhouse seeks an unprecedented fifth straight title.Carlo Ancelotti has won all seven matches across all competitions since taking charge, something even his predecessor Pep Guardiola did not manage in three seasons. Ancelotti is now the first Bayern coach to win his first seven matches. His relaxed attitude seems to be appreciated by the players, who enjoy more freedom on the pitch than under the rigid, possession-first style of Guardiola.Franck Ribery seems to be thriving under Ancelotti and the mercurial French winger has enjoyed a strong start, scoring twice in the first four matches.The return of the other winger, Arjen Robben, has given Bayern another strong option. Robben needed only seven minutes to find the net after coming off the bench in Bayerns 3-0 win over Hertha Berlin on Wednesday in his first match since March following two injuries.Bayern has such depth that Portugals young midfield star Renato Sanches has made only two league appearances since joining from Benfiica after some impressive performances at the European Championship.Here is what is happening elsewhere in the Bundesliga early in the season:COACHESWerder Bremens Viktor Skripnik lasted three matches before being sacked. His interim successor Alexander Nouri saw his team go ahead, then lose 2-1 to Mainz and drop to a 0-4 record.Two other coaches are under pressure. Hamburgs Bruno Labbadia is living on borrowed time after one point in four matches and facing Bayern coming next. Schalkes Markus Weinzierl has seen his teams worst start in over three decades, with one goal scored in four defeats.---EINTRACHT FRANKFURTEintracht Frankfurt is one of the positive surprises. Frankfurt barely escaped relegation in the playoff, having signed coach Niko Kovac in March.Nashville Predators Jerseys. Frankfurt appears to have shopped wisely and Kovac has found new use for Mexican playmaker Marco Fabian. Fabian has scored once and set up two goals and Frankfurt has three wins.---RB LEIPZIGThe ambitious newcomer is still undefeated and stunned Borussia Dortmund in the opener. Backed by the financial clout of industrial magnate Red Bull, no wonder Leipzigs story resembles the early rise of Hoffenheim. Ralf Rangnick was the coach of promoted Hoffenheim when it sensationally stormed to the top of the Bundesliga in 2006 and he is now Leipzigs director of sports.Leipzig appears to have what it takes to stay in the Bundesliga and confidently talks about bigger plans for the future.---COLOGNECologne may have only one star, but Anthony Modeste already has four goals and the club is undefeated, two points behind Bayern.Modeste has 19 goals in 38 matches since joining Cologne from Hoffenheim, where he netted 19 in 55.---SCHALKESchalke is the biggest disappointment so far. Markus Weinzierl was lured from Augsburg as one of Germanys most touted young coaches and the club invested heavily into new players, only to score one goal in four straight defeats.Schalke next travels to Hoffenheim and another loss would put Weinzierl under tremendous pressure.---NEW FACESSeveral young players are beginning to make their mark.Ousmane Dembele, the French teenager, has scored his first goal for Dortmund; American striker Bobby Wood has netted twice for Hamburg and is about the only success story at the troubled club.Werder Bremen is even in deeper trouble, but it has given 19-year-old Ousman Manneh his Bundesliga debut. The refugee from Gambia, who previously drew attention at a small provincial club, was promoted from Werders reserve side and came close to scoring in the 2-1 loss to Mainz. When he left the match in the 55th minute, Bremen was still leading.
