The Ibrox defender was one of the strong all-round performers for Rangers tonight.
Some Rangers supporters were left pleased by the performance of Borna Barisic at Ibrox tonight, despite the player scoring an own goal.
In a tense encounter against Young Boys, it was Steven Gerrard’s men who took the lead, thanks to an Alfredo Morelos goal.
However, the Swiss side rallied and scored a late equaliser after a scramble in the box.
The ball looked to go in off the Croatian defender in a moment that didn’t really reflect his performance.
Rangers initially looked bright in the encounter, but nerves showed as the match went on, with the home side having to show a bit of spirit and determination to see out the 1-1 draw that ensured progression.
Pleased fans noted that Barisic was one of the team’s top performers, despite the late drama, impressed by his all-round defensive talents as well as his ability to cross a ball in the final third.
When you consider that at points last season there were question marks about his Ibrox future, he’s made a remarkable turnaround at the club.
He’s now something of a hero with supporters and is displaying the kind of consistency that makes him one of the first names on Gerrard’s teamsheet.
If the Gers are to do anything in Europe this season, or push for trophies domestically, he’ll likely play a big part.
These fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on his display…
