Rangers fans have raved about Ibrox star Joe Aribo for his efforts in a 4-2 win over Ross County in Dingwall on Sunday.
Aribo had a disrupted pre-season so he wasn’t at his sharpest when the 2021/22 campaign – his third as a Rangers player – got underway.
However, he’s received plenty of minutes in recent weeks and now looks to be in the groove.
The Nigeria international was selected in midfield against the Staggies and he opened the scoring in just the 15th minute with a sensational goal.
After receiving a pass from Alfredo Morelos in the right corner of the box, he sorted his feet out and then shifted the ball onto his left side, before whipping an inch-perfect finish into the far corner.
It was a moment of real quality that calmed a few early nerves for the visitors, after their disappointing performance against Alashkert at Ibrox on Thursday night.
Aribo was booked in the 37th minute for a mistimed challenge and that was perhaps a factor in his substitution for Kemar Roofe with seven minutes remaining.
Yet, his superb goal set the Gers on their way to what was, in the end, a relatively comfortable victory and he received plenty of praise on social media for the strike and overall performance.
Here’s a selection of reactions from Twitter:
