A James Tavernier free-kick into the penalty area was not cleared and Leon Balogun’s shot was blocked. The ball ricocheted to the midfielder and he sent a goal of the season contender into the net to open the scoring.

Players celebrated on the pitch and so did the fans watching at home – with some comparing the strike to previous scored by Rangers manager Steven Gerrard in his illustrious career.

@RangersFACTS: “Woooooooooooooooooooow! What a hit son, what a hit!”

Gary Hendry: "What a wonderful goal, first touch perfect and set for a beautiful strike. Thanks Ryan Jack.”

@deanbuchan7: “Ryan Jack or Ronaldinho?”

@sevco_steve: “Unreal finish.”

@Euas04: “You sure that’s not Gerrard playing?”

@RS1872: “Take a bow Ryan son, absolutely fantastic finish.”

Tina Brown: “What a cracker of a goal.”

Rangers Ladies defender @NicDoc11 added: “What a zinger from Jack! #Superb”
