Some Glasgow Rangers fans were raving about the latest performance of defender Connor Goldson.

Connor Goldson of Brighton and Hove Albion celebrates scoring his side's second goal with Beram Kayal during the The Emirates FA Cup Fifth Round between Brighton and Hove Albion v Coventry...

Connor Goldson helped Rangers complete a narrow win against NK Osijek on Thursday night, and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter went mad about the quality of his performance.

The Gers earned a 1-0 lead against Croatian side Osijek in their Europa League qualifying second round, which means they are in a healthy position ahead of the second leg at Ibrox next week.

Centre-forward Alfredo Morelos headed in the vital away goal for the Scottish giants and that would have given his confidence a massive lift.

Manager Steven Gerrard remains unbeaten in his three competitive games to date and his side are yet to conceded a goal in the European matches.

The Light Blues are beginning to look a lot more solid at the back compared to last year and their new-look defence is certainly helping.

Goldson has been at the heart of their success as a commanding centre-back, while Nikola Katic, Jon Flanagan and goalkeeper Allan McGregor have also arrived this summer to improve them defensively.

The 25-year-old moved to Ibrox after departing Brighton and the colossus is already becoming a fan favourite with his no-nonsense defending.

Here is some of the Rangers fan reaction to Goldson’s latest European display:
