Steven Gerrard was delighted to get him. Lee Bowyer was absolutely raging to lose him [Daily Record]. But Joe Aribo’s went quietly about his business.
Whilst the argument raged on in the background about Aribo’s suitability to Ibrox, he has settled into life at Rangers quite nicely.
Two competitive Ibrox starts have brought two Ibrox goals, but it’s an outrageous piece of skill against Progres which has many Gers fans salivating.

The Cruyff turn, the stepover, the agility and balance to straighten up and take it past the player at the end.
It’s superb to watch and what the clip doesn’t show you is Aribo nearly creating a goal off the back of it.
The former Charlton midfielder looks the real deal and whilst it’s early in his Rangers career, at a reported £300k Aribo looks an outright bargain.
It’s not just the player’s skills that has Gers fans fawning over the midfielder either. The support could well have found their latest hero.

English 22-year-old midfielder Joe Aribo joined from Charlton on a pre-contract after a high profile pursuit by Rangers.
The Ibrox club was said to have beaten off Premier League and European competition for his signature. Not to mention rivals Celtic [Scottish Sun].
The player seems to always be in space and always wants the ball. The midfielder already looks a very strong acquisition by the club.
Gers fans are certainly onside with him already.
