Rangers manager Philippe Clement was pleased with the 'perfect' start to his side's Europa League campaign, but was clear there is more to come.
After all that has gone on behind the scenes and on the pitch at Rangers in this nascent season, Thursday's comfortable Europa League win in Malmo felt as though it was needed.
Nonetheless, there was a hint of relief from Clement that his team had started to prove him right amid a difficult start to the campaign and questions over the club's transfer strategy. "This team can grow to become better than last season. That's the goal and it was not easy with the situation we were in."Clement's words were considered but instructive of a man who was quickly needing proof from some signings they could cut the mustard at Rangers.
Neraysho Kasanwirjo, the Feyenoord loanee, made his debut as an emergency left-back and fitted in seamlessly, defending comfortably while getting forward to get on the end of a good move, which he should have finished. Ally McCoist, who knows a thing or two about finishing, said Rangers' play in front of goal "has to improve".
"It might seem harsh to be talking about missed chances when Rangers have played so well, but it has to improve."The next question is whether Rangers can keep building on this impressive display.
