Rangers fans riff on Celtic 10 In A Row pain with new Steven Gerrard chant debuted against Tranmere

Rangers fans have conjured up a new chant to riff on their rivals' pain and salute manager Steven Gerrard.

Supporters who attended Saturday's friendly at Tranmere Rovers were seen on video singing along despite their team's 1-0 loss.

A Rangers statement warned against travelling for the club's pre-season fixtures and the Prenton Park clash was deemed to be home fans only.

But sure enough a few resourceful supporters got their hands on tickets – and aired a new terrace ditty that will do doubt get an airing when supporters return to Ibrox.

Set to the tune of Status Quo's Rockin' All Over the World, the fans chant: "And I like it, I like it, I like it.

"Here we go, Gerrard stopped 10 In A Row."

It's of course a reference to Gerrard beating off the challenge of Celtic last term to end a decade of domestic Parkhead dominance.

But the boss wasn't too pleased with his side's preparations going into next season.

Speaking after the friendly, he said: "I’m not happy with the result. There were large pockets of control and you could clearly see our style but over the 90 minutes, it was nowhere near Rangers standard in the final third.

"You have to take into consideration it’s our second game and we’re coming in fatigued but the level of players we’ve got here today I expect us to create more and get a couple of goals each half."
