Celtic fans have heard Rangers striker Jermain Defoe's title talk before

ACTION: Rangers player talks about what he wants Rangers to do.

REACTION: Celtic fans dominate the replies.

In fairness, it's a message that Rangers players have been delivering summer after summer.

This time, the player in question is Jermain Defoe, who told The Beautiful Game podcast that “Sometimes when I sit and look at the players and the squad we have, there is some unbelievable talent in that dressing room.

“We just need to believe we can do it this year.

“We don’t want to make the same mistakes we made in the second half of the season.

“I look at the dressing room and I believe we can go all the way and compete in Europe as well."

Going all the way would mean stopping Celtic's bid to secure a historic tenth successive title, but the fans of Neil Lennon's side below can't help feeling the message is a bit familiar.
