Abdallah Sima sends four-word message to Danilo after Rangers winner v Hearts
Abdallah Sima has sent a four-word message to his Rangers teammate Danilo after the latter’s winner against Hearts.
The striker scored a 93rd-minute goal as the Gers defeated Hearts 2-1 in the Scottish Premiership match at Ibrox on Sunday (29 October).
Lawrence Shankland put the visitors ahead in the fifth minute of the clash, with James Tavernier netting a 90th-minute equaliser for the hosts before Danilo’s winner.
Summer signing Danilo entered the fray at the halfway stage as a substitute for fellow summer arrival Cyriel Dessers.
And after scoring a late header, he took to Instagram to celebrate the win, with his teammate Sima commenting: “Watp,” which is an acronym for the club’s motto “We are the people.”
Huge moment
It was a huge moment for everyone connected with the Glasgow club, with the Gers picking up all three points in the hard-fought victory.
Hearts definitely made the hosts battle it out at Ibrox, but their hard work came undone in the dying seconds, with Gers captain Tavernier playing a key role.
Having missed an earlier penalty, the right-back then netted from the spot, before setting up Danilo’s dramatic winner.
It was a massive moment for the striker, who hasn’t exactly hit the heights expected of him since his arrival in Scottish football.
And it was also huge for new manager Philippe Clement, who is now unbeaten from his first three matches in charge, with wins against Hibernian and Hearts and a draw against Sparta Prague.
The home supporters were getting extremely frustrated as the match went on, with the Ibrox faithful needing a hero.
And Danilo proved to be that man, in what was undoubtedly his best moment in a Rangers shirt so far.
