The Rangers midfielder had another impressive night at Ibrox.
Rangers will take a comfortable lead into next week’s second leg against Progres Niederkorn in UEFA Europa League qualifying after winning 2-0 at Ibrox on Thursday night.
Goals from Joe Aribo and Sheyi Ojo provided the win in a dominant performance that could, and perhaps should, have resulted in an even greater margin of victory.
Aribo was a highlight throughout in midfield, showing composure, skill and ambition on the ball that set him apart from most of his Gers teammates.
His left peg finish in the first half put Rangers on the path to victory.
The former Charlton man looks like he’s been part of this Rangers side for a while, not a newcomer still finding his feet.
The 23-year-old has now scored twice in his first three matches as he looks to solidify his position in Steven Gerrard’s starting eleven.
With competition strong from the likes of Glen Kamara and Greg Docherty, his performance levels will have to remain high given the manager’s ruthlessness in changing his teams from match to match.
As new club starts go though, his couldn’t have been much better even taking into consideration the standard of opposition. He’s well placed to be a big part of Rangers’ quest to reach the group stages of the competition for the second season in a row.
Signing after the end of his Charlton contract, he could also prove to be one of the best bargains of the summer transfer window.
Fans were impressed with his Wednesday night display, with some taking to Twitter to share their thoughts…
