Glasgow Rangers boss Steven Gerrard was happy with his team’s victory against Maribor in the Europa League qualifying clash at Ibrox on Thursday night.

The Gers earned an emphatic 3-1 win over NK Maribor in the first leg of the Europa League clash, and Gerrard has plenty of reasons to feel happy.

Goals from Alfredo Morelos, James Tavernier and Lassana Coulibaly sealed the tie in Rangers’s favour, putting them in a strong position ahead of the second leg in Slovenia.
