ANDY ROBERTSON enjoyed Liverpool's hammering of Rangers for obvious reasons on Wednesday night.
The Scotland captain's teammates destroyed Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side 7-1 at Ibrox on matchday four of the Champions League.
Rangers did actually take the lead in the match through Scott Arfield, which sent the packed Ibrox crowd wild.
However, a hat-trick from Mo Salah, as well as a double from Roberto Firmino and strikes from Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliot secured the resounding victory for the Reds.
Robertson was a second-half sub in the game, coming on for Kostas Tsimikas after around a month on the treatment table.
Being a boyhood Celtic fan, Robbo had an extra reason to smile.
And he has spoken about the importance of silencing the Rangers crowd.
He said: "Obviously it’s an exceptional result.
“The boys were magnificent after a bit of a ropey start, giving Rangers a goal lead. The fans obviously got up and luckily we managed to quieten them down quite quickly with an equaliser.
“I thought we dominated the game after that, second half we were very good and we controlled the game.
“I thought first half they were obviously a bit braver. They gave us a lot more problems than they did last week, they had a lot more attackers on the pitch.
“When we play with that intensity a lot of people can’t deal with us.
“I think we outran them and then started picking up all the second balls, and when we start controlling the game, controlling possession, we are a very hard team to play against.
“I think that we showed that and we also showed our ruthless side. Every chance we got in the second half, we pretty much put away. When we are like that, it’s always difficult.
“It’s a massive result for us, puts us in a good place in the group, and now we carry on.”
