Rangers have moved top of the Scottish Premiership tonight.

Steven Gerrard’s side thumped St Johnstone 3-0 at Ibrox to leapfrog Hibernian at the top of the table on goal difference.

Goals from Borna Barisic and Ryan Kent gave Rangers a comfortable 2-0 lead at the break, before Joe Aribo added a third within five minutes of the restart.

There were quite a few players who impressed fans of the Glasgow club, but many are praising Leon Balogun.

Gerrard snapped up the former Brighton centre-back on a Bosman last month and he certainly looks the part so far.

Balogun was brilliant in the first half alongside Connor Goldson, but the German powerhouse felt awkwardly just before the break and was replaced by Filip Helander.

But here’s how Rangers fans reacted to his first 45 minutes:

Hopefully for Rangers his withdrawal was only mere precaution, because he looks the business so far.

It’s early days, of course, but Goldson and he look relatively solid back there and the more they play together, the better they’ll become as a unit.
