Glasgow Rangers forward Fashion Sakala has been praised by Ibrox cult hero Kenny Miller on BBC Sportsound.
Miller was speaking after the Rangers ace put Michael Beale’s side 2-1 up against Motherwell on Saturday.
The Ibrox side had to come from behind after Kevin van Veen put the hosts ahead in the third minute.
James Tavernier equalised on 23 minutes and Sakala put Rangers ahead shortly after the restart.
The Gers captain whipped a superb cross in from the right and Sakala got the better of Paul McGinn to head home.
“Perfect start to the second half for Rangers and it’s wonderfully worked goal,” said Miller (18/3/23, 13:39).
“A familiar source in James Tavernier’s right boot.
“Fashion Sakala, given his size, is very, very strong in the air.
“He rises above his man at the back post and bullets the ball past Liam Kelly.”
Bevis Mugabi drew Well level again just before the hour, but Todd Cantwell got his first Rangers goal not long after.
The Ibrox newcomer’s finish on the rebound was followed by a fierce Malik Tillman drive to seal a 4-2 victory.
Well finished the game a man down after Callum Slattery was sent off for a second bookable offence on 76 minutes.
Improvement
Admittedly, Sakala had a slow start to the game, but improved after the break and got that crucial goal.
Bears will hope for more of the same from the Zambia international in the run-in.
Rangers are next in action on Saturday 1 April, after the international break.
