‘Zungu will get better with time’ – Gerrard reviews Bafana Bafana star’s Rangers debut

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has praised Bongani Zungu for his impressive debut performance in their 8-0 win over Hamilton Academical on Sunday.

The South Africa international, who is on a season-long loan from French club Amiens, made his first appearance in the Scottish Premiership after replacing Ryan Jack for the second 45 minutes.

Goals from James Tavernier, Scott Arfield, Joe Aribo, Kemar Roofe and Brandon Barker sealed the emphatic win for the Gers but Zungu gave a good account of his qualities.
