YOU'RE ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR LAST VIKTORY

Czech romp was so enjoyable but Souttar knows it is only one game

RUSSELL MARTIN got the response he was looking for after his Fir Park rant.

But John Souttar says Rangers will have to be sharp as a whip again if they are to maintain their Motherwell backlash.

Ibrox gaffer Martin wasn’t pulling his punches after watching his team trip out of the blocks on Saturday evening.

He accused certain players of putting their ego before the good of the team after dropping two points in a dismal 1-1 draw with the Steelmen.

But that jab got the desired effect on Tuesday night as Gers hit back with their best display under the former Southampton boss to sweep Viktoria Plzen aside 3-0 in their latest Champions League qualifier.

Rangers showed everything they didn't against Well as they put on a performance packed with energy, aggression and, crucially, quality in the final third to stun the Czech outfit.

The addition of new signing Oliver Antman and last season's top scorer Cyriel Dessers complemented a top line already boasting Djeidi Gassama - a figure fast approaching fan-favourite status after a blistering start at Ibrox.

With four goals in as many games, the £2.2million recruit from Sheffield Wednesday looks a steal at that price.
