David Weir insists the memories of last season's Clydesdale Bank Premier League triumph can drive Rangers on to a third successive title.
The 40-year-old defender has signed on for another year with the Scottish champions and believes the forthcoming campaign will yield further success for Walter Smith's men following a domestic double last time around.
"We've still got the memories of winning the league so we all want to do that again," he said.
"The memories are still fresh in the mind and we know this is where it starts, the build-up to try and achieve that again.
"Those memories are still there and that's what keeps driving you on.
"We had a substantial break this year, which is unusual, and hopefully we will get the benefits of that.
"The players with niggles and a few knocks can get rid of them and come back fully fit and hopefully stay fully fit for the season."
The squad at the moment is more compact than usual following the departures of Kris Boyd, Nacho Novo, Steven Smith and DaMarcus Beasley, with Smith yet to add to his group over the summer.
"It's part and parcel of football," said Weir.
"It's sad to see the likes of Kris and Nacho, Stevie Smith and DaMarcus leave, lads who have all contributed and played a big part. But when you're involved in football for any length of time you quickly become accustomed to that because that's how it operates."
