‘I am in love’ – Many Rangers fans blown away by ‘Genuinely unreal’ player at HT v Killie
Rangers fans have been drooling over Joe Aribo in the first half of the action against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Sunday.
Aribo, 24, is clearly back to full fitness after a two-month spell on the sidelines with an ankle injury he sustained in mid-August after impressing in the opening stages at Killie.
Although it was James Tavernier’s penalty that put Rangers ahead, Aribo’s creativity and flair in and around the box was one of the biggest talking points among fans on Twitter.
The former Charlton ace has been a revelation since returning to Steven Gerrard’s side, helping the Gers to keep up the impressive form that has seen them go top of the Scottish Premiership table and reach the Europa League group stages.
With him in the side, Rangers just always seem to have that extra bit of threat in their attack and fans really enjoyed watching the Nigerian in full flight on the plastic surface in Ayrshire, with one saying that he is “in love” with him.
Here is a selection of their tweets:

Aribo is a top-class player and one of the best at what he does in the whole of Scottish football.
The ball just sticks to his feet when he has it and you know he’s going to create a chance for Rangers to score.
Let’s hope Aribo can keep up his performance into the second half and help Rangers see out a win that will take them nine points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership table.
