Rangers' Dominic Ball wants to end season with treble trophy success
Wednesday 6 April 2016 16:50, UK
Dominic Ball is targeting a treble trophy success this season after Rangers wrapped up the Scottish Championship title.
A 1-0 win over Dumbarton on Tuesday ensured the Gers were promoted to the Premiership as champions, a win that secures 20-year old midfielder Ball his first career medal.
Now, the on-loan Tottenham player is turning his attentions to securing even more success this season, with Rangers still active in two cup competitions.

Rangers will look to secure a trophy they have yet to win on Sunday, and Ball is hoping that can be the second of three triumphs this season.
"It would be brilliant and that is what I want to get - three trophies, it's not bad for your second loan at 20-years old," said Ball. "I think that would help me push on massively and it's massive for the club as well, the lads would deserve it as well, so we will see."
Promotion to the top tier was Rangers' main target this season and Ball says he is delighted to have wrapped up the championship allowing them to focus on the cup competitions.
"It was a bit of a relief at getting over the line. Now we can focus on the game on Sunday, and then the game against Celtic. Everyone wants to play in the biggest games of football and the Old Firm game is one of them.
"When I first came here the gaffer told me I was here to help win the league. The targets were clear, we had to win the league and every day in training and every game was working towards that.
"So when you have done it, it is brilliant. You work so hard for it. It is my first trophy so I am really happy, really proud."
Ball has impressed at the heart of Rangers' midfield this season, and revealed the post-match celebrations at Ibrox on Tuesday were among his favourite experiences in Scottish football.
The youngster is set to return to parent club Tottenham at the end of the season, but insists he would be delighted to return to Rangers again in the future.
"Playing in front of 50,000 is what I wanted to do since I was young and every week I play out there. It was brilliant last night," he added.
"I will have to wait and see what the options are and what Spurs want. But I have loved my time here, the lads, the manager, so I would definitely be open to coming back next year but it is down to Spurs."
