Rangers hero Kris Boyd was impressed with his former club's victory over Sparta Prague.

Philippe Clement's side defeated the Czech club 2-1 as they edged close to reaching the Europa League knockout stages.

And after Todd Cantwell fired home the Light Blues' second goal, the Sky Sports cameras cut to Boyd who was on punditry duties and he could not resist a dig at colleague Lee Hendrie.

He said: "Nobody's interested Hendo, get off, it's all about the Rangers tonight!

"It's a great ball from John Lundstram. A lovely long ball and Sima makes a lovely run, it comes off the back of one of the defenders.

"It drops to Danilo who plays a ball to Cantwell. He just cuts inside on his left foot and rolls it past the goalkeeper into the far corner, it's a lovely goal from Rangers."

Meanwhile, self-confessed football freak Clement has insisted crucial analysis work is helping push Rangers towards making this season a success story.

The Ibrox boss previously revealed he watched every Rangers match before being appointed manager last month.

And he has continued his obsessive approach to management with significant analysis of opposition and increased video work with players.

"Every game you need to look for the details, look for the advantage, how to press, with who to press, what are the weak links," said Clement on the success of the Rangers press against Sparta Prague.

"On the ball also to find where we can find spaces. We had difficulty with that in the first half in Prague, we did much better second half and today also.

"It's a lot of work from a lot of people, I need to say that. It's work of the analysts, my staff, and everybody together to make a good analysis of our opponent and where our opportunities come from."
