Sky Sports commentator Ally McCoist wowed by Rangers forward Antonio Colak’s goal against Hearts
Sky Sports commentator Ally McCoist was left astonished after Antonio Colak’s goal against Hearts, the forward heading in a superb cross from Rangers winger Ryan Kent.
Rangers got off to a slow start against Hearts, nearly conceding a penalty in the early stages of the game, nevertheless, their reliable number nine came through with an opener.
McCoist applauded the “absolutely perfect” header from Colak, admitting it left Hearts goalkeeper Craig Gordon with no chance.
Speaking during live commentary of the game on Sky Sports (12.37), McCoist was wowed by a sublime header from Colak.
“It’s an absolutely perfect top-class header, he leaves Gordon no chance, it’s a top-class goal,” said the excited commentator.
Colak has shown time and time again that if Rangers put the ball in the box he will find the back of the net and he did so again.
Proper.
Tynecastle is a tough place to get a result and goals, but the Rangers’ number nine had no problems in the opening seven minutes of the game to slot home, putting all nerves at ease.
Colak grabbed a second goal 30 minutes in, fully cementing his spot in the Gers lineup and repaying Giovanni van Bronckhort’s faith in starting him.
The 29-year-old has been in fine form this campaign and added to his already impressive tally, he’s now scored 11 goals in 14 appearances for Rangers.
Fans were crying out this week for the Croat to start the game and their wishes were granted by the menacing forward’ netting twice in the first 45.
He’s now the man in scoring form and he must be repaid with a starting position, week in, week out by Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
You always have to play the striker that is in form, and Gers and GVB have reaped the benefits of doing so in the first half against Hearts.
Colak’s freighting form bodes well for Rangers title hopes this campaign, hopefully, he can keep it up.
