Tom English reacts as Rangers celebrate online after ‘really good’ Europa League victory

According to Tom English, Rangers were “really good” away at Malmo as the Light Blues

emerged victorious in an online debate about their triumph.

The top columnist for BBC Scotland responded via X after the Light Blues’ official account

mockingly praised their European rivals for the “warm welcome.”

and stated that the Gers were already “missing you” following the thrilling 2-0 victory.

The post was a reaction to a film that Malmo’s own social media team had uploaded prior

to the match, in which they said, “We’ve missed you,” and highlighted their own victories

from 2011 and 2021, which had placed Rangers, respectively, “in the fourth division.”

and “in the Europa League final.”

On the way back to Glasgow, English shared a meme in response to Rangers’ mic-drop reaction,

concurring with a fan that the win had been “really good.”

Nedim Bajrami stars as Rangers down Malmo

The Light Blues don’t have many fond memories of facing Malmo.

but this win—their first against any Swedish opposition—might be a turning moment

for Philippe Clement’s team.

The season has gotten off to a bad start with chaos off the field and a huge gap

to Celtic clearly apparent. But this was the kind of performance that gives this team confidence

—Nedim Bajrami was excellent in just his third game for the team.

and Rangers might have easily scored five goals.

The Albanian joined on Transfer Deadline Day, but his debut at Dundee United proved

to be a very poor half; he had to wait till after the international break.

Nevertheless, he should have had a hat-trick of assists if Vaclav Cerny, Cyriel Dessers,

and Neraysho Kasanwirjo had scored spectacular goals. Instead,

he opened the score in the first minute when Dessers struck the post.

Despite Dessers’ subpar finishing, his link-up play with the Nigerian forward in particular

was a significant plus.

However, the striker did put in a great all-around performance in a match

where Ross McCausland’s impact off the bench ensured the victory,

and Clement was denied Hamza Igamane’s opportunity to play.
