SPFL: Joe Aribo Helps Rangers Maintain Unbeaten Start

The Gers made it 19 wins out of 21 league games this season, and their Nigerian talisman was at the forefront of their latest victory.

Joe Aribo featured for the whole 90 minutes as Rangers maintained their unbeaten start in the Scottish Premiership with a comfortable 2-0 win at St. Mirren.

St. Mirren had knocked out the same opponent in their Betfred Cup clash, but Steven Gerrard’s men gained their pound of flesh on Wednesday evening.

Aribo played his part in the victory with a 91% pass success rate, two successful tackles and two clearances. It was the Aribo’s 14th league appearance in the Scottish top-flight.

Steven Gerrard’s men took the lead in the 27th minute courtesy of a strike Kemar Roofe, who finished off a pass from Ianis Hagi.

Alfredo Morelos doubled the Gers lead in the 33rd minute. There were no more goals in the game as Rangers preserved their lead.

The win sees Rangers maintain a 16 point over rivals Celtic- although Steven Gerrard’s men have played three games more.
