Rangers-bound Jordan Jones was in action on Thursday night.
Northern Ireland got their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign off to a perfect start by beating Estonia 2-0 at Windsor Park on Thursday night.
Michael O’Neill’s side were hoping to avoid a shock defeat having seen Scotland embarrassed earlier in the day, and they did their job with a comfortable win.
Niall McGinn opened the scoring on 56 minutes after good work from Jordan Jones, before Steven Davis scored from the penalty spot, handing Northern Ireland all three points.
In a group containing Germany and the Netherlands, Northern Ireland will always be up against it in their attempts to reach the tournament, but they at least got their campaign started in the right way.
Rangers had a couple of players in action in Steven Davis and Kyle Lafferty, but also a player bound for Ibrox as winger Jordan Jones started for Northern Ireland too.
The Kilmarnock man penned a pre-contract agreement with Rangers in January, and will join up with his new teammates in the summer when his Killie dead ends.
Some Gers fans haven’t been enthused by the deal, but many were impressed with his showing last night, calling him ‘class’ and ‘brilliant’ in a fine performance.
Others feel that Jones brings exactly what Rangers have been missing with his delivery from wide areas, with more and more fans beginning to come around to the idea of his Ibrox arrival.
