Rangers manager Steven Gerrard is in awe of Joe Ariboâs inspiring performance at left-back in Wednesdayâs 3-0 away defeat of Livingston.
In the absence of Borna Barisic, the No. 10 was drafted to play a defensive role against David Martindaleâs men.
Even at that, he excelled as he perfectly linked up with Jack Simpson, Connor Goldson, and James Tavernier to help the Gers keep a clean slate.
As a result of that, the Liverpool legend reserved special praise for Aribo, while labelling him his âman-of-the-matchâ.
“What can I say about Joe Aribo? Gerrard was quoted by the Rangers website.
“I tell you what I ll say about him - good players can play football, and top players can play anywhere on the football pitch and a manager can ask a player to do a role. Good players can do some and can t do some, but Joe Aribo is a top player, so whatever I ask him to do, he goes out and gives it his best shot. He is my Man of the Match tonight just because when you think about it, he is a number 10 and he is just so comfortable at left-back and cruised it and breezed it.
He will be expected to link up with his new club at the end of the 2020-21 season and Gerrard is already looking forward to his arrival. The recruitment system doesn t stop. We ve got Jack Simpson and Scott Wright and getting Fashion Sakala done and dusted is helpful for me because they will be here from the first day of pre-season, and having Scott and Jack in earlier, you can see they re already starting to settle, Gerrard said, as per Daily Record. Fashion Sakala is coming in after a productive season in Belgium. He will make us a lot quicker, a lot more dynamic and gives the squad a lot more pace in the forward areas, so I m really excited to work with him. There s potential there on a big scale.
