Rangers need to ramp up the pressure on new Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers from the first whistle next season as grumbles continue about his appointment from their support.
Songs about being around for 10-in-a-row soon disappeared when he jumped ship for the Premier League, new chants became significantly more vitriolic towards the 50-year old in the process.
Now, after the announcement of his return, North Curve Celtic, which houses the Green Brigade, has done Rangers job for them by posting an image labelling Brendan Rodgers “a fraud” before he has even set foot in Parkhead.
After winning the last Old Firm of the season 3-0 and in emphatic fashion led by Todd Cantwell, Rangers tails were already up ahead of what it sure to be an entirely different title race next year.
With Ange Postecoglu gone too, Celtic have gone from a treble to a team now with a few question marks about what lies ahead.
On the pitch, Rangers need to take advantage of the unrest at Celtic and the friction caused by Brendan Rodgers appointment.
The first derby is at Ibrox, a full house and repeat performance won’t be forgiven by their fans.
The Green Brigade leads their support, is seen as the voice of their support as the most visible element, and they are not happy.
Rangers need to add to Brendan Rodgers Celtic pressure
Imagine if Rangers get off to a flyer under Michael Beale.
The pressure across the city could reach boiling point.
As a support, they have taken things too far in the past.
The famous night of the thrown “sharks” springs to mind as an example.
When Steven Gerrard guided us to 55 “relentless” was the mantra and we have to see a repeat of this.
No more conceding stupid, self-inflicted goals.
No more failing to kill teams off after dominating.
It’s time for Rangers to show Celtic and Brendan Rodgers that we are no longer the soft-centred side that he once lorded it over and that a return to Glasgow is the worst decision he has ever made.
