Ghanaian striker Dodoo trends in the UK after heroics for Scottish giants Rangers

Published on: 10 April 2017

 

English-born Ghanaian striker Joseph Dodoo has been showered with praise on twitter for his display on Rangers 0-3 win over Aberdeen in the Scottish Premier League over the weekend. 

The former Foxes shone on his rare starting berth offered him to put Rangers in strong position for European football next season.

Dodoo has to start a game under new Ibrox chief Pedro Caixinha, making just two substitute appearances from his four games in charge.

But his late masterclass against Aberdeen could give the Portuguese food for thought ahead of Rangers’ next clash with Partick Thistle in a week’s time.

The Rangers fans, however, were quick to show their appreciation for the attacker’s display, and took to Twitter to deliver their glowing verdicts.

Even before Caixinha arrived at Ibrox last month, Dodoo had struggled for regular first team football.

His predecessor, Mark Warburton, had brought the former Leicester youngster to the club at the start of the season, but then handed him just two Scottish Premiership starts from his 12 appearances.

The attacker has now scored five goals and supplied three assists in all competitions, and Rangers fans want to see him handed more regular opportunities.

A brace from Kenny Miller alongside Dodoo’s strike steered Rangers to a comfortable 3-0 victory.

The victory for Rangers keeps them in third place, but it narrows the gap behind second-placed Aberdeen to nine points.
