# Rangers: Fans sarcastically laud Matt Polster’s brief appearance against Motherwell

**Rangers fans were praising a surprise man after their victory over Motherwell which saw Steven Gerrard’s side momentarily top the Scottish Premiership standings.**

Goals from Nikola Katic and Alfredo Morelos saw the Gers [bounce back](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50702820) from their last couple of domestic fixtures, though it was substitute Matt Polster that was the toast of a section of supporters despite only being limited to a [six-minute cameo](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matt-polster/leistungsdaten/spieler/354613) at Fir Park.

Supporters were clearly in a jovial mood having seen their side comfortably dispatch of their opponents after going a man down midway through the second half, with calls for Polster to be named as Man of the Match among the replies as the American made a brief showing towards the end of the game.

Some supporters were simply happy to see Polster getting a chance after just [26 minutes](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matt-polster/leistungsdaten/spieler/354613) of league action prior to Sunday afternoon, while others were seemingly delighted with the midfielder’s performance – albeit somewhat sarcastically:
