Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers got their competitive campaign off to a winning start, with Sheyi Ojo on the scoresheet.

Glasgow Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has told the Glasgow Evening Times that he felt Sheyi Ojo slowed towards the end of his side’s match against St. Joseph’s last night.

Rangers played their first competitive game of the season in the Europa League, and Ojo got his Ibrox career off to a fine start, as he scored on debut.

Rangers ran out 4-0 winners in the contest, with the new loan signing impressing in the contest.

Ojo has now enjoyed a very productive first few weeks with Rangers, with the Liverpool loanee also catching the eye over pre-season.

But Gerrard has warned Ojo not to let up, as he saw the youngster drop off in the latter parts of the match.

“Listen, Sheyi has got all the attributes and if this doesn’t work it will be because of Sheyi. He has got everything in the locker – he is quick, he is strong, he is powerful, he takes on information,” Gerrard said.

“Towards the end, I could see him coming down slightly. I want him to be ruthless from start to finish and he will get the numbers that he wants and that will satisfy everyone.”

Ojo has struggled on a series of loan spells in recent times, so really needs to find a home at Rangers.

The Light Blues have effectively qualified for the next round of the Europa League already, as their win in Gibraltar was so comprehensive.

Rangers will play the second leg of the tie on Thursday next week at Ibrox.
