With Rangers boss Steven Gerrard revealing that the club are “extremely close” to agreeing a pre-contract deal with Aberdeen forward Scott Wright, spare a thought for the Dons fans.
The Gers are set to steal in and pinch one of their own from right under their noses with boyhood Dons fan Wright being offered an opportunity you just don’t get in Scotland’s northeast.
The talented 23-year-old is weighing up his options but for all intents and purposes, could be a Rangers player by the end of this month.
But some Aberdeen fans have railed against his choice of club as they desperately try to reignite their non-rivalry with Rangers in a bid to keep relevant.
Rangers fans barely bat an eyelid over the Dons these days but for Aberdeen supporters the Gers are their fiercest rivals.
As yet another Dons talent looks to follow Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack from Pittodrie to Ibrox, there’s plenty of butt-hurt on Twitter.
Here’s a selection of some of the best as Aberdeen fans come to terms with losing their best player to the team they hate the most:

Rangers fans – universally in stitches at the response of the Dons support – have in turn called out our rivals for their unfair assessment of the situation.
When the likes of Ross McCrorie went the other way, he was wished nothing but all the best from Ibrox and it’s sad this can’t be echoed back the way from Pittodrie.

Given Wright is a boyhood Aberdeen fan and could be about to sign for Rangers the clear frustration of the Aberdeen support will make the move all the sweeter.
Rangers manager Steven Gerrard also confirmed that there were several potential options regarding the player and here’s what Derek McInnes had to say about a potential swap deal.
