GIOVANNI van Bronckhorst was delighted with the overall performance from his side after a strong 4-0 victory at Tynecastle this afternoon.
The Gers boss thought his side showed character and spirit as a double from Antonio Colak and goals from Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent secured the three points in Edinburgh.
Hearts were reduced to 10-men at the end of the first-half and van Bronckhorst was happy with how his side controlled the match.
Speaking to RangersTV at full-time, he said: “I think we started the game really well, the first goal was very important and the second goal after that also but I think we created many chances especially in transition moments to score even more.
“Of course, with the sending off we knew we could control the game and managed to score two more goals which maybe should’ve been more, but I think it was very positive that we kept a clean sheet as well.
“We started really well, we knew they would come at us in the beginning but we matched their character and their spirit which we also have so I think that was the key to starting the game well and that is why we controlled the game after the sending off.
“There were another two goals again for Antonio, he has been amazing for us and it was two important goals today and it was also good to see Morelos and Kent on the scoresheet because we need goals so overall I am very happy.”
Rangers’ focus now turns to UEFA Champions League football with a trip to Anfield to face Liverpool on Tuesday evening and the boss is happy his squad can head there on the back of a positive result this afternoon.
He continued: “It is always easier to work towards the next game when you have a good win so that is very positive. The opponent we are facing on Tuesday, Liverpool, are a top side in Europe so we will have to be ready.
“We have two days to recover and to prepare tactically for a big game and it is always good to do that after a win.”
