Glasgow Rangers of Scotland midfielder, Joe Aribo is excited with his team’s strides so far this season in the Scottish Premiership, as he believes their bright start to the campaign is suggestive of a huge potential for the title, megasportsarena.com reports.
In the wake of another victory for The Gers this past weekend, Aribo declared emphatically that he and his colleagues are up to something big, which he believes was underscored by Saturday’s win over Hibernian.
He was delighted that Steven Gerrard’s men secured a hard-fought victory against The Hibs and showered praise on his teammates following their 1-0 victory on Boxing Day, during which he was one of the standout performers in the encounter.
Ianis Hagi scored the only goal of the game to help The Gers extend their winning run to three games, while the victory at Ibrox Stadium also helped Gerrard’s men to open a 16-point gap at the top of the table, much to Aribo’s delight.
Aribo, who acknowledged that team work gave his side victory over The Hibs and expressed his delight with their performance, added: “I am buzzing and the boys are buzzing too. We needed to get that result today and we needed to put in a good performance.
“We stayed solid together, we were under the cosh a little bit but we did what we had to do. No two games are the same and we just need to go out there in every single game and have the right mindset and just push through.
“We knew we had to be patient on the ball and make five, six seven passes and try to break through them and that is what we managed to do and we got the goal through that. That isn’t our game putting balls into the box and we know that isn’t going to work. We need to be patient regardless of the scoreline and regardless of the time.
“We just need to bide our time and hopefully we will get the breakthrough that we need. We knew this was going to be a tough game and they would have their chances but we just had to stay strong. There were a lot of corners that they had and we managed to get the first contact, so we just did what we had to do.”
