It was never going to take long for Rangers fans to warm up to Nigerian international Joe Aribo, as a new Union Bears chant being belted out in the 2-0 win over Stranraer proves.
The silky player oozes class and the Union Bears were looking to give something back to the flashy midfielder-turned-inside-forward.
Apologies in advance to anyone who is sensitive to swear words as the chant itself includes a naughty word.
The song is said to be sung to a tune which is sang by Sektion 12, FC Copenhagen’s Ultras.
The words to the Union Bears latest chant is:
“When he’s on the ball
“He’s on the go
“Our number 17 he is Joe Aribo
“He’ll cut inside
“He’ll score a goal
“He’s f****** dynamite and he’ll put on a show”
The Ibrox fans group the Union Bears have come up with some immensely popular songs which are now etched into the Rangers songbook.
From Every Saturday We Follow to Follow Follow, Glasgow Rangers, the group’s modern chants regularly endorse the traditional values of being a Rangers fan.
But aside from the rather needless addition of the F word, most fans are excited to get behind this one too.
Here’s some of the more positive reactions on Twitter:

Whilst there are a few murmurs of discontent from Rangers fans too, you can bet they’d be belting it out if Aribo scores a last-minute winner against Celtic.
And if you’re in any doubt as to how much these songs can mean to players, get a load of Borna Barisic singing the song that’s been attached to his name this season.
The Ibrox club’s support are loving him singing his own rendition [Premier Sports].
