# “Outstanding” – These supporters were impressed by Joe Aribo

“You were outstanding” – A lot of Gers fans are lavishing Joe Aribo with praise after he turned in a [brilliant performance](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49324410) in Rangers’ [3-0 win](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49324410) over East Fife.

Aribo produced another [excellent performance](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49324410) in the Betfred Cup – as he bagged his fourth goal since joining from [Charlton Athletic](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49324410) in the summer.

Rangers were professional in [tricky conditions](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49324410), and their reward is a trip to [Livingston](https://twitter.com/RangersFC/status/1163122291431092224) in the quarter-final.

Aribo provided that [extra spark](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49324410) for Steven Gerrard’s side and his goal was [well taken](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49324410) – as he [slotted in](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49324410)a loose ball to round off the scoring.

The 23-year-old’s performance though [received praise](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1167283/Rangers-news-Steven-Gerrard-Joe-Aribo-BetFred-Cup-East-Fife-Scottish-Premiership) from his manager who claimed he could reach the [highest level.](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1167283/Rangers-news-Steven-Gerrard-Joe-Aribo-BetFred-Cup-East-Fife-Scottish-Premiership)

Certainly, a lot of Gers fans have fallen in love with their new midfielder.
