Ally McCoist blown away by Joe Aribo in big Rangers win v Brondby
Rangers finally got their first win in the Europa League this season in this evenings clash against Brondby at Ibrox.
Leon Balogun and Kemar Roofe got the goals, but it was the performance of Joe Aribo which caught the eye of everyone in the 2-0 win.
Ally McCoist was one of those with the Ibrox hero stunned by the performance of the Nigerian international.
Speaking on BT Sports this evening, McCoist was absolutely blown away by what he was watching from the Nigerian international.
“First of all, you’ve got to say it was a brilliant ball from Joe Aribo,” he said,
“Who has been the outstanding player on the park from some considerable distance.”
Outstanding.
When we have needed someone to step up during tough times this season, it has usually been Aribo in the middle of the park.
Injuries and problems have ravaged our squad, but Steven Gerrard has had the former Charlton man to rely on consistently.
The goal against Dundee is the one that sticks in the mind, but tonight, it was his most complete performance so far of the season and that should serve as a warning for the rest of Scotland.
If the likes of Aribo hit full gear sooner rather than later, no one will be able to stop them from charging to the Scottish Premiership title yet again.
The playmaker was everywhere this evening, and there was no doubt that he was the standout out player on the pitch – no-one would complain with that, now the real challenge is consistently doing that.
