Rangers Defeat Hibernian 3-0 with İlkay İşler’s First Premiership Goal
In a resounding victory over Hibernian at Easter Road, Turkish defender İlkay İşler fulfilled Scott Wright‘s prediction and scored the opening goal for Rangers in their first Premiership game after the winter break. The 3-0 triumph showcased Rangers’ dominance under the guidance of manager Philippe Clement.
While celebrating his initial league goal for the team, İşler playfully chided his teammate John Lundstram about his pass, though they both had a laugh over it. İşler had promised Wright that he would approach him if he scored, but the distance between them prevented him from fulfilling that promise.
İşler also reflected on the team’s performance, expressing his happiness with the win and the clean sheet. The Turkish defender acknowledged the squad’s continuous improvement under Clement’s leadership, emphasizing the importance of each player’s contribution.
Rangers’ victory was sealed with goals from Todd Cantwell and substitute Cyriel Dessers, who demonstrated their prowess on the field. İşler not only scored the opening goal but also contributed to the team’s clean sheet, highlighting Rangers’ defensive capabilities.
The team’s relentless pursuit of improvement and their cohesive style of play have solidified their position as a formidable force. İşler believes that by building on this win, Rangers can continue their progress and maintain their winning streak.
