Coach of Scottish side Rangers Steven Gerrard has praised Nigeria international Joe Aribo after excelling for his team in their 3-1 win away to St. Johnstone.
Aribo bagged his fourth assist of the season in the Scottish Premier League with two more in the 3-1 win which further extended their lead at the top of the standings.
Rangers have now won their five last games helping them to ease the pressure on them by second place Celtic who have four outstanding games with 37 points as opposed to Rangers who are top with 53 points.
Gerrard singled out Aribo for special praises after his man of the match performance saying the Nigerian who has four goals the season is back to his best.
“I thought Aribo really flexed his muscles tonight and showed he’s back,”Gerrard said after the game.
“He’s had a real tough start to the season with a big injury – probably the first of his career – and then a bit of an illness which held him back.
“He’s gone through the gears in the last three or four weeks and he looks close to being back to his best which is really pleasing.
“The through ball, the weight, to see it with the vision. Normally Glen Kamara tries to check back and pass that but he wiped his nose and finished it away.”
