On a tricky pitch, the Light Blues had to battle hard to earn their win, and Swedish international Helander was key to that with an excellent performance at centre-half.
Speaking afterwards to RangersTV, Helander said: "I am very proud. The three points is what we came here for and we got it.
"It was a tough game - I think they played well and with the pitch, it was difficult and we had to change our style of play a little bit, but we are very happy.
"I think it shows we are in a good place and we believe in what we do and have good confidence - that is what you need individually."
The clean sheet was earned by the entire side tonight, with substitute attackers Kemar Roofe and Cedric Itten playing a key role in holding the ball up late on.
Helander continued on the importance of a clean sheet: "The whole team, but especially the defenders, it is something we talk about. We want to keep clean sheets and if we do that, we have enough quality up front to get us a goal like we did today.
"That gets us the three points.
"That is one of the strengths in our team. We have a lot of players that can come in and perform.
"You see today Buff [Alfredo Morelos] scored, and in the last game, we had five different goalscorers and a lot of players contributing to the team.
"That is perfect. It is always enjoyable when you are winning, and we just have to keep continuing to do that and look forward to the game on Wednesday."
