Watch as ex-Celtic striker Oh scores against Rangers in Europa League

Former Celtic striker Oh Hyeon-gyu scored the winner as Genk triumphed over Rangers at Ibrox.

The South Korean striker slammed home in the second half to win the Europa League league phase opening round match for the Belgian side.

Oh had been denied from the penalty spot as he powerful strike was saved by Jack Butland in the first half.

However, the ex-Celtic striker would score his first goal at Ibrox as he arrowed into the bottom corner with 55 minutes on the clock.

It had appeared it would not be Oh's night as he passed up a number of big chances before finally finding the net.

First he blazed over after being picked out in acres of space in the box, then, he had his penalty saved. Oh would also turn wide with a sliding effort with the goal at his mercy.

Not to be deterred, though, Oh did fire home for Genk and then celebrated by taking off his shirt to display his name and number to the booing Ibrox crowd.

Oh looked to have scored a second shortly after as he tapped home, but it was ruled out for an offside in the build-up.

"It’s nice to be back in Glasgow, especially playing at Ibrox," said Oh ahead of the match.

"My best memories of my time here were at Celtic Park , because I didn’t score at Ibrox.

"I played here and it was my dream to score in this stadium so I’m very excited. I hope to score in this game. I want to make it a great night."
