Paddy Power has come up with a Europa League special to mark the first ever group stage win of the Cypriot minnows.
Touching briefly on the pre-season optimism of the Gullible & Deluded it moves quickly through Thursday’s match and onto the spectacular social media reaction.
The angry bears on the Rangers Rabble feature prominently with their levels of despair fast becoming an essential stop off for those that enjoy gloating over their misfortune.
After a bad night in Cyprus, it’s all falling apart for Rangers. Yet again.
And the fans are taking it… badly.

Under the True Blue management team of Steve Davis and Alex Rae hopes were sky high just like last Wednesday following a 4-0 win over David Martindale’s side.
It took only nine minutes for reality to arrive when ARIS took the lead, in truth te fifth best team in Cyprus should have ran out far more comfortable victors.
Davis had to face the tame post-match media questions, driving rage even higher when he claimed that he couldn’t have asked for any more effort from the players.
If results go to form today Davis will take his side to Paisley tomorrow sitting in fifth place and trailing Celtic by 10 points.
