“What a player” – A lot of Gers fans were delighted with Joe Aribo’s first SPFL game – which Rangers won 2-1.
The new signing from Charlton started for Steven Gerrard’s side – and showed some glimpses of what he could do at Rugby Park.
He was also denied his first league goal for his new club by Kilmarnock goalkeeper Laurentiu Branescu – who made two outstanding saves to deny Aribo in the second half.
Aribo supposedly turned down interest from Premier League clubs to move to Ibrox – and he is expected to make an impact for the Gers this season.
The 23-year-old has already started well in Europa League Qualifying scoring two goals.
These Gers fans were impressed by what they saw from Aribo.

Many Gers fans are delighted with what they have seen from Aribo already – and they cannot wait till he settles in properly.
you’ve got the skills to pay the bills & playing on grass pitches you’ll show that, 10-15 goals guaranteed….no pressure man😁

A lot of other Rangers fans are expecting a big goal return from their new creative midfielder. He scored nine last season for Charlton – so Rangers fans can probably expect a similar return.
