Michael Stewart blown away by Rangers star Kemar Roofe v Livingston
Michael Stewart singled out Rangers forward Kemar Roofe for his impact in the 3-0 win over Livingston on Saturday.
Fashion Sakala was handed his first start by Steven Gerrard, with Roofe being forced to come off the bench to get his goal.
It was a predator’s goal towards the end, and Stewart was blown away by the man who has got everything in the final third.
Speaking on BBC Sportscene last night, Stewart singled out the substitute for his impact on the opening day.
“For me, I think he’s probably the best striker that Rangers have got,” he said.
“He’s the most all-round striker, he’s got everything you want out of a number nine and I know he’s played in different positions.
“He’s so physical and strong, a good finish and he’s always alive.”
Wow.
Everything is just pointing in the right direction for the Bears, and we have only just finished the opening weekend.
Our heavy win was followed by Celtic being beaten by Hearts, and they already look completely demoralised.
Looking at the strength in depth that this squad has, and there is no better example than bringing Roofe off the bench.
The big-name striker didn’t complain, either, he got on with his business, came off the bench and smashed home his first off the season.
Roofe knows he will likely be used on Tuesday against Malmo, and rotation will be one of Steven Gerrard’s biggest weapons this season.
You don’t bring in this type of quality and depth not to use it, and Roofe will be raring to be unleashed from the start in Sweden.
