Rangers have returned to the top of the Scottish Premiership after a 1-0 win over Hamilton Academical at Ibrox this afternoon.
With Celtic losing earlier in the day away to Hibernian, today’s match was a massive chance for Steven Gerrard’s side to put serious pressure on the Hoops with three points.
Daniel Candeias’ goal within three minutes of kick-off was enough to secure the result, despite an at times unconvincing performance against the visiting Accies.
One player who did get pass marks from supporters was summer signing Borna Barisic, who has only recently returned to the first-team after a two month absence due to injury.
The Croatian was superb on the left flank, not only combining effectively with Eros Grezda but also providing quality delivery into the box himself, including in the run up to the winning goal.
Fans are delighted to see him back and performing well, taking to Twitter to share their thoughts…
