Rangers ran out 2-0 winners over the visitors and the Ibrox players all shone.

But as Bassey is just 21, it was great to see him effectively cement a spot in the Rangers starting XI.

The young defender barely put a foot wrong, keeping the opposition attackers at bay throughout.

Bassey’s reading of the game was superb, and his passing was also top class.

Here’s what some Rangers fans said about Bassey on the night:

Goals from Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent saw Rangers’ unbeaten run under Van Bronckhorst continue unabated.

The Gers dominated proceedings from start to finish en route to what turned out to be a routine 2-0 win.
