Rickman, real name Derrick Ddungu, wants the Kasasiro Boys to tame the Venoms in the Uganda Premier League bout and use the result to turn their season around.

"Rocking my KCCA FC jersey; COYKB (Come on You Kasasiro Boys)," he started on his X handle.

"Let's get that venom out of the viper and make an antidote," Rickman rallied.

In a similar meeting last season at Lugogo, Rickman was in attendance as his boyhood club beat Vipers 1-0, courtesy of Rogers Mato.

He's expected to grace the same grounds later today under floodlights, with the hope that KCCA will repeat the feat.

However, KCCA, who have struggled in the initial stages of this campaign, come up against a side that is yet to lose a game and are fast picking momentum.

KCCA have lost five of their six league games and sit second from the bottom with just a single point.

On the other hand, the Vipers have won four and drawn twice to have them occupy third with 14 points on the 16-team log.

Vipers have comfortably won their most recent matches, beating Soltilo Bright Stars FC on enemy territory and thrashing Wakiso Giants FC 3-0 in Kitende.
