Rangers picked up a 2-0 win over St Mirren on Saturday afternoon.

Rangers winger Eros Grezda has told the club’s official YouTube channel that he ‘really enjoyed’ his first start for the club – but conditions made the game a ‘little bit hard’.

The Gers travelled to Paisley on Saturday afternoon to take on St Mirren, and were in desperate need of a positive result after a tricky three-game run.

Home draws with Spartak Moscow and Kilmarnock either side of a Betfred Cup semi-final defeat to Aberdeen had put some pressure on boss Steven Gerrard.

Rangers then faced a tricky trip to take on Oren Kearney’s St Mirren, and it looks like being another frustrating game for Gerrard’s men, with the score locked at 0-0 with 10 minutes to play.

However, Daniel Candeias opened the scoring before Alfredo Morelos added a second in the dying embers, with Rangers winning 2-0 even with a late red card for Candeias.

Rangers were even able to hand a first start to winger Eros Grezda, who has been sat waiting patiently for a full debut since his August move from Osijek.

The Albanian speedster featured for 55 minutes before being substituted for Candeias, and he showed some promising signs as he bids for more playing time.

Grezda has now been asked about his debut, and admitted that two difficult factors made his full debut ‘a little bit hard’ – the heavy rain and the strong wind, but he really enjoyed a start and the three points.

“I really enjoyed playing with the team, but it was a little bit hard because of the conditions – heavy rain and strong wind,” said Grezda. “But the most important thing is that, in the end, we took the three points and now we are very happy,” he added.
