Rangers fans have been full of praise on social media after their team swept aside Livingston on Sunday afternoon in an impressive performance at the Tony Macaroni Arena.
Despite having just two days to prepare following a big Europa League tie against Porto, the Gers looked full of energy and were well worth the three points.
Joe Aribo opened the scoring with his first league goal for the club before Alfredo Morelos doubled the advantage with his 22nd of the season in all competitions.
The two goalscorers fared well in our Player Ratings, as did Borna Barisic, who continues to impress the supporters.
The 26-year-old started his 13th consecutive game at left-back and put in yet another classy performance.
He’s barely put a foot wrong since coming into the side against Feyenoord in September, and he both was solid defensively and threatening in attack in West Lothian.
The hosts didn’t offer a huge amount, but whenever they did venture forward, Barisic regularly fronted up in the tackle before showing composure to play out from the back.
As the game went on, he bombed forward with increasing regularity, whipping dangerous crosses into the area.
In fact, it was his nicely-weighted ball down the channel that released Morelos for the crucial second.
He can consider himself unfortunate to have left without grabbing a third league goal of the season, too. After being picked out by Scott Arfield on the edge of the area in the closing stages, his well-struck shot was somehow kept out by a combination of ‘keeper Sarkic and the upright.
He’s become a real fan favourite over the last couple of months and his name rang out around the Tony Macaroni at various stages of the contest.
Here’s a selection of reactions to his performance from Twitter:
