Glasgow Rangers got back to winning ways, with the Ibrox side storming to a 3-0 victory.
Goals from Ryan Jack, Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos saw Rangers pick up the three points at Livingston that has lifted the Light Blues back above Kilmarnock and into second in the Scottish Premiership.
Gerrard’s men could have won by a greater margin had they been more clinical in front of goal. But it was certainly the kind of performance that Rangers needed after their midweek disappointment.
And after the full-time whistle, Gerrard lauded Candeias’ display, with the winger putting in an incredibly industrious effort to help the Gers secure the three points.
“He was excellent,” he told Rangers’ official YouTube channel. “I think when Daniel commits to his game and really plays full throttle with that energy and that intensity, he’s a hell of a little player. He was excellent for us today, but so was everyone else. You could go through the whole team.”
It seems fair to say that the 30-year-old’s contribution can go under the radar at times. He puts so much work in, and makes an important impact at both ends of the pitch, often giving James Tavernier the freedom to run beyond him.
Rangers return to action on Wednesday when they face Cowdenbeath in their rearranged Scottish Cup fixture, while their next league game sees the Gers host St Mirren at Ibrox on Saturday.
