GLEN KAMARA sealed Rangers' win over St Johnstone with the kind of calm finish that seems at odds with a goalscoring record he admits needs to improve.
The midfielder's strike past Remi Matthews was his first of the season and he hadn't scored since the 3-1 win over RB Leipzig in the semifinal of last term's Europa League.
That, the Finnish international knows, is nothing to write home about.
But Kamara revealed he's hoping to hit the target more often now that he's been encouraged by new boss Michael Beale to express himself more in forward areas of the pitch, rather than sitting behind the ball.
Kamara had been reduced to a bit-part role by former boss Gio van Bronckhorst, but Beale, who worked with him in his first stint at the club with Steven Gerrard, has restored Kamara to a regular starting slot and his confidence has soared as a result.
After another astute performance on an afternoon when Rangers won comfortably but wasted a series of chances to make the scoreline more emphatic than 2-0, the 27-year-old is clearly enjoying his reunion with the manager.
