Rangers have to continue moving forward after impressive outing at Villarreal.
Ex-Rangers striker Marco Negri hailed his former side on Twitter for their performance against Villarreal on Thursday evening.
Steven Gerrard’s side kicked off their Europa League group stage campaign with a 2-2 draw in Spain.
The Gers were underdogs going into the contest with the La Liga outfit, but fought back from behind on two occasions to earn a result.
Scott Arfield and Kyle Lafferty were on the scoresheet for the Scottish giants to get them up and running in the Europa League, with games against Rapid Wien and Spartak Moscow just around the corner.
Negri highlighted the character shown by Rangers to fight back against the odds and that is certainly a trait that Gerrard is beginning to install to his group of players.
“Proud and glad of yesterday’s match in Europa League. Good result and great character. Well done Rangers,” Negri wrote on his personal Twitter account.
Rangers will be majorly boosted by their performances in Europe so far this campaign and now turn their attention back on domestic football.
They host St Johnstone at Ibrox on Sunday and have some work to do to catch early pacesetters Hearts, who are already seven points above them in the table after just five games.
Gerrard is certainly beginning to stamp his mark on his side and competing on the European stage against decent opposition proves the progression.
