# Glasgow Rangers: Fans stunned by Jordan Jones’ appearance against Willem II

**While some Glasgow Rangers fans may not have dared to dream of winning 4-0 away to Willem II in last night’s Europa League qualifier, there was another element of surprise for many of the Ibrox faithful arising from the match.**

With just under 20 minutes to go, Steven Gerrard made his [first substitution of the night](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/willem-ii-tilburg_rangers-fc/index/spielbericht/3451615), withdrawing Ryan Kent and putting on [Jordan Jones](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-transfer-rumours/glasgow-rangers-3-want-jones/) in his place for his [first appearance of the season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jordan-jones/leistungsdaten/spieler/249256). Indeed, the Northern Ireland international had become such a peripheral figure at Ibrox that, two months ago, he was [told by Gerrard](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/jordan-jones-set-rangers-exit-22444903) that he could leave the club, although no such move materialised.

As it happened, the 25-year-old ought to have had a late assist as, in the closing minutes in Tilburg, he set up Ianis Hagi for what ought to have been a simple finish, only for the Romanian to fire over the crossbar (as per [Glasgow Live](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/willem-rangers-live-score-update-18992825)).

Jones made only 15 appearances last season, [the vast majority as a substitute](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jordan-jones/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/249256/verein/124), and these ‘Gers fans on Twitter were surprised to say the least when Gerrard decided to spring him from the bench:
