# Rangers: Kemar Roofe wins Europa League Goal of the Season award

**Kemar Roofe’s strike for Glasgow Rangers against Standard Liege has received the Europa League’s Goal of the Season award.**

### **The Lowdown: Roofe scores stunning strike**

The Gers were 1-0 up against Belgian outfit Liege in their Europa League group stage match going into the final minute.

Then, Roofe produced a moment of magic, scoring a remarkable lob from his own half after skipping past a couple of players.

### **The Latest: Roofe wins Goal of the Season**

As such, Roofe has [won the Goal of the Tournament from UEFA](https://twitter.com/EuropaLeague/status/1398626543803551744).

He beat the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Dele Alli to the accolade – Alli’s stunning bicycle kick against Wolfsburg was only good enough for second place.

### **The Verdict: Deserved**

It is hard to argue with the outcome of the award, no matter who you support. It was a truly wonderful moment from the £5.4m-valued 28-year-old ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kemar-roofe/marktwertverlauf/spieler/141350)), and it displayed the ability and skill the former Leeds United forward possesses. He will likely never score a better goal.

It was the icing on the cake for what has been a successful first season for Roofe at Ibrox. He netted 18 goals in 36 games in all competitions ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kemar-roofe/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/141350)), helping the Gers win the Premiership along the way. He will be hoping for plenty more memorable European strikes as the 55-time Scottish champions embark on a Champions League campaign next time out.
