Glasgow Rangers winger Eros Grezda can seemingly return to Ibrox after the international break with his head held high.

A number of supporters have taken to Twitter to comment on Eros Grezda’s display during Albania’s defeat to Scotland at the weekend, with many suggesting that the Rangers summer signing was the home side’s best player by quite some distance.

It was not a good night for Grezda’s side. Ryan Fraser and Steven Fletcher made the score 2-0 at half-time. And James Forrest added a brace after the break.

The 4-0 win leaves Alex McLeish’s men level on points with their Nations League group leaders Israel, with Tuesday’s clash between the two set to decide who is promoted.

Albania may have been relegated, but Grezda emerged from the contest with plenty of credit. The winger had endured a difficult start to the season following his £2 million move to Ibrox in the summer – fee reported by BBC Sport – but he appears to have turned a corner in recent times.

The 23-year-old scored twice in the 7-1 win over Motherwell that sent Steven Gerrard’s men into the international break on a major high, and his performance against McLeish’s side left plenty of Rangers supporters feeling positive.

It seems impossible to emerge from a 4-0 defeat as a shining light, but Grezda has apparently managed it. The wide-man was praised for looking lively, and Rangers fans are convinced that he is going to prove to be a brilliant signing at Ibrox.
