Rangers’ season got underway yesterday afternoon as we travelled to the sunny climes of Gibraltar to take on St. Joseph’s.
We were not there for any holiday, though, we were there for business and the Gers certainly delivered in that regard as they ran out comfortable winners against the Minnows.
A step towards Europa League football next season seems to have been taken, then, and we just need to go through the motions next time out at Ibrox and see it through to get to the next round of qualifying.
Goals from the likes of Alfredo Morelos and Sheyi Ojo underlined our attacking threat from various areas throughout, too, and there was plenty of positive stuff said on Twitter in light of the win.
Let’s, then, take a look at some of the best of what was said:

An early positive for the new season coming up, then, and hopefully we can go from strength to strength.
