It appears that Saturday’s visit from Celtic is one Derby match too many for Ibrox fans.

A draw followed by three defeats across three competitions has managed to suck the life out of the Micky Beale Revolution with some fans even contemplating reality.

The hopes of dreams of Beale, backed up by Treble boasts from Kenny Miller and Neil McCann has given way to the reality of weekly Celtic parties with just Inverness Caley Thistle standing between a world record eighth treble.

Beale has actually won all but one of his matches against opponents other than Celtic but a dull, predictable style of play watching serial losers has left fans counting down the hours until the official end of the season.

One of the strange aspects is that only for a spell in the Viaplay Cup Final have Celtic been close to top form in their clashes with the Tribute Act.

While Beale has tried to squeeze everything out of his squad there is no doubt that Ange Postecoglou’s side has underperformed against their city rivals this year.

If the champions can rediscover form on Saturday there could be one more weekend of distress for Ibrox fans to endure before the arrival of Kieran Dowell to kick star the latest Revolution.
