Rangers fans have raved about full-back, Borna Barisic, following his impressive performance in the 5-0 Europa League qualifying win over Lincoln Red Imps.
The Gers cruised to victory in the second-round clash in Gibraltar on Thursday evening, with James Tavernier and Connor Goldson netting in the first half, before an Alfredo Morelos brace either side of a comeback goal from Jermain Defoe, completed the scoreline in the second.
There were plenty of strong performances from those in Light Blue, who, as would be expected, looked a class above their semi-professional opponents.
However, plenty of supporters singled out left-back, Borna Barisic, for special praise.
The 27-year-old endured a difficult start to life at Rangers but he has been consistently excellent for the past year and he shone again at the Victoria Stadium.
The Croatia international is defensively sound but his threat in the final third and the quality of his left foot is what really sets him apart from others and he wreaked havoc down the left flank.
Fellow defender Goldson took advantage of a typically pinpoint Barisic cross from a free-kick to make it 2-0 on the stroke of half-time, giving the full-back his fifth assist of the season.
He continued to probe the opposition in the second half as the Gers went for more and although it was Morelos and Defoe who killed off the game, many fans thought the Croatian was the star man.
