Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers extended their excellent form on Wednesday.

Jordan Rossiter has told Rangers’ official website that his team-mates have been “absolutely superb” since being knocked out of Europe.

Rangers suffered arguably their worst ever defeat by being knocked out of the Europa League in a first-round qualifier by Luxembourg side Progres Niederkorn.

But it must be noted that Pedro Caixinha’s side have been excellent since that setback.

Pedro Caixinha manager of Rangers gestures during the Scottish Cup Semi-Final match between Celtic and Rangers at Hampden Park on April 23, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

The Gers beat Sheffield Wednesday and Watford in pre-season friendlies, as well as drawing with Marseille at Ibrox, before edging out Motherwell 2-1 at Fir Park on Sunday to extend the feel-good factor.

Rangers were also absolutely ruthless on Wednesday as Caixinha’s troops smashed Dunfermline 6-0 in a League Cup clash, with three of the Portuguese’s new signings – including Alfredo Morelos, who scored twice – on the scoresheet.

Rossiter was given a rare start against the Pars and the former Liverpool midfielder tells the club’s official website that he’s thrilled with how his side have bounced back since such a demoralising result in Europe.

“Everyone was disappointed after some of the pre-season results and the European games, but the gaffer has spoken about building momentum, but ever since the Marseille and Watford games, we have been absolutely superb and it is only going to be good for us, especially with Hibs coming here on Saturday.”
