The Portuguese striker latched onto a Matt O’Riley pass before lifting a delightful chip over Jon McLaughlin in the Rangers goal.

There are some angry Jambos in the comments who thought that Stephen Humphreys should’ve been given the award but tough luck.
It makes it all the more impressive that it came in a meaningful game with plenty to play for. The winger will be targeting making his mark in the remaining games this season, especially with a Treble to play for.
