JOE ARIBO was a happy man as Rangers got the job done against Hibs to claim yet another three Scottish Premiership points.
The Nigerian international midfielder was one of the standouts for Gers on what was a wet and windy Boxing Day at Ibrox with Ianis Hagi getting the only goal of the game in the first half.
Speaking at full-time to RangersTV, Aribo explained: "I am buzzing and the boys are buzzing too. We needed to get that result today and we needed to put in a good performance.
"We stayed solid together, we were under the cosh a little bit but we did what we had to do.
"No two games are the same and we just need to go out there in every single game and have the right mindset and just push through.
"We knew we had to be patient on the ball and make five, six seven passes and try to break through them and that is what we managed to do and we got the goal through that."
Gers’ game management to get the win was again terrific, as despite Hibs having some decent pressure late-on, the home side held on.
Aribo continued: "That isn't our game putting balls into the box and we know that isn't going to work. We need to be patient regardless of the scoreline and regardless of the time.
"We just need to bide our time and hopefully we will get the breakthrough that we need.
"We knew this was going to be a tough game and they would have their chances but we just had to stay strong.
"There were a lot of corners that they had and we managed to get the first contact, so we just did what we had to do today."
