Make that three in a row for Maurice Edu and Rangers.
For the third straight season, Edu and Rangers won the Scottish Premier League title, defeating Kilmarnock, 5-1, on Sunday to do so. Edu started and went the distance in the match that gave Rangers its record 54th Scottish championship.
Michael Bradley didn't start for Aston Villa, but he did make his first league appearance for the club since February with a late cameo in a 2-1 win over Arsenal. Bradley came off the bench, played 10 minutes and helped the relegation-threatened Villans secure their place in the Premiership.
It wasn't all positive this weekend. Jonathan Spector and Ricardo Clark saw their respective clubs get relegated. Spector and West Ham United were dropped after surrendering a lead against Wigan Athletic, and Clark's Eintracht Frankfurt was outdone by German champion, Borussia Dortmund.
