Nottingham Forest manager Aitor Karanka has taken to social networking site Twitter to rally the fans ahead of the match against Derby County this afternoon.
Forest will take on Derby at the City Ground in the Championship in a few hours’ time.
Karanka has sent a simple but effective message ahead of the East Midlands derby on Twitter, with Middlesbrough fans urging him to get a win.
The former Real Madrid defender was in charge of Boro from November 2013 and March 2017, and guided the club to promotion to the Premier League from the Championship.
Middlesbrough, now managed by former West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis, are level on points with Derby, who have a game in hand.
Both Boro and the Rams are fighting for a place in the top six of the Championship this season.
As for Forest, the Reds are as far down the league table as 15th, but they look to be out of danger of getting relegated to League One at the end of the season.
