Rio Hardy: Best Display In Front Of Goal

RIO HARDY feels Rangers put on their best display in front of goal so far this season as they ran out 8-1 winners over Dundee United at Foundation Park this afternoon.

The Light Blues responded to going behind within 30 seconds with Kirsty Howat and Hardy both firing in hat-tricks as well as further fantastic strikes from Kirsty Maclean and Tessel Middag helping the Gers to a second win in a row.

Speaking to RangersTV after the match the striker was happy to contribute to the scoreline on the day and praised the team for the clinical edge they showed in front of goal.

She said: “I think that is the most clinical that we been all season and I think we’ll try take it into the games we’ve got coming up this week. I think we have done ourselves proud there in front of goal.

“It is always good to get on the scoresheet but the most important thing is three points.”

The forward operated in a slightly deeper number ten position in the match and she says she is learning the role all the time having featured there in several games this season.

She continued: “It something that I have had to get used to but I think it is a bit easier when I have got the players around me to help me.”

The striker says the team will access the dominant display as they now prepare for the visit of Motherwell in three days time as they ready themselves for their penultimate fixture before the international break.

She added: “We will just recover and get ready to go again, we will have a look at this game and we will recover well tomorrow and just get ready to go.”
