Rangers beat Hearts 2-0 on Sunday afternoon with summer signing Fashion Sakala impressing many with his display at Tynecastle.

Hearts 0-2 Rangers – how did it happen?

Well, Hearts actually started well and looked threatening before Rangers took over.

Sakala beat a man inside the box before cutting back for Alfredo Morelos to smash home.

That was on nine minutes, and by the 13th minute it was 2-0. Connor Goldson’s raking pass picked out Joe Aribo, and he finished brilliantly.

Rangers couldn’t find a third goal and had goalkeeper Allan McGregor to thank for a string of fine saves.

The game was ultimately over when Josh Ginnelly picked up a silly red card for Hearts.

That’s another win for Giovanni van Bronckhorst at Rangers, with the Dutchman making an outstanding start.

Rangers fans are absolutely loving Sakala

Ross Wilson is known as quite the talent spotter, and Rangers will be glad he found Sakala.

Signed on a free transfer from Oostende over the summer, Sakala’s constant smiling has made him a favourite with Rangers fans.

Deployed as a right-sided winger by Van Bronckhorst, Sakala made a real impact against Hearts.

In fact, after picking up the assist for Morelos, Sakala should have scored himself.

Still, this was a great display and Rangers fans have been hailing Sakala’s performance.

Here are some of the reactions from Rangers fans on the Zambian’s performance…
