Rangers manager Steven Gerrard raved about Joe Aribo following Rangers’ stunning Europa League 3-2 comeback win over Braga, as captured by RangersTV. Aribo was one of several players heavily criticised by supporters following the damaging recent league defeat to Kilmarnock, but he was outstanding on Thursday night.

Excellent goal by big Aribo, and deserves the plaudits.
I thought a few players last night were lacking confidence, hopefully our second half performance is a shot in the arm for us, and we can kick on from this win.
Great to hear the Manager supporting a young, developing player. Because he’s young and inexperienced, he’s going to have bad games and, at Rangers, this can get the crowd on your back.
I know that, when he left Charlton, many of their supporters were gutted, as they felt he was their best player, last year.
We’ve got to be brave enough to put up with a few “downs” to get these potentially brilliant youngsters fully on board for the future success they can bring. Haji is the hero today, but he’ll have some bad games…just don’t forget last night, before suggesting he gets “transferred out” and “never wears the shirt again!”
