Roofe has just put us on the TV all over the World.

[JD1872]

Wins the ball, beats a few players then lobs the keeper from his own half. It doesn’t get any better

 

[Unicorn]

I'll be shouting at him to shoot every time he gets the ball in our own half now.

 

[baystatebear]

Just noted on BBC Football that this was Standard's first home defeat in Europe in 15 games since in December 2014!!!

Excellent result Rangers.

 

[Sirwatty]

Rob McLean saying we won't see a better goal tonight? Nah ya dick, we won't see a better goal ever! that was genius.

 

[WATP]

46 and never seen a goal so complete as that for Rangers. The only goal I’ve celebrated like that at home was Novos penalty.....an unbelievable moment as a Rangers fan. Thank You Kemar

 

[Beswgers]

It’s certainly a contender but still not as good as the Wallace goal, that was a team goal personified

Well, it's one of the best solo goals for sure. He wins the ball, holds off a load of defenders, jinks past them and unleashes a missile.

Incredible.

 

[yarrumdavid01]

Funk me that is an absolute monster of a goal. No one will score a better goal in Europe, give Roofe the golden muff!

Miscontrolled it past a couple of players and then mishit a clearance. jammy bastard.

 

[Thesuperger]

His tenacious play to get the ball out danger was outstanding.. then he goes away and hits the ball from his half way line and it rockets in the back of the net!! Just ughhhh you absalout legend Roofe!!!

That goal....

What a wonderful gif.

 

[alan78]

I've now watched it about 15 times

 

[Shengus Malengus]

You can almost hear old Weetabix heid himself...


"Wooooooof, Rooooofe!!!"

 

[Briggsybear-jr]

Actually incredible. The hold up play before and the look up, just ridiculous.

Didn't manage to see the game but that sir is a thing of beauty.

 

[cloodie]

A wee tour through some fitba forums show it's THE talking point of the night. Incredible goal.

Goal of the tournament contender right there

 

[ottawabear]

That goal will be on highlight reels for the next two months and all end of 2020 season in review shows!!!

Outstanding, Outstanding!

 

[Boabski Bluenose]

Still smiling

Outstanding, Outstanding!

That goal has just won Sports personality of the year.

 

[gersandproud]

As per OP title - that goal is being shared across the planet as we post

The exposure that footage will generate & keep us in the spotlight far & wide will be just immense

Well done Kemar - you've not only made us very happy with the performance & superb result you've raised our profile into so many corners of the globe

Stunning - just phucking stunning my son -
take a bow - take several bows

 

[McB Waters]

Furthest a goal has ever been scored from in the Europa apparently

[Barrymoped]

A certain goal against Tampere was pretty decent

It was, but with the greatest respect to the great man, the level of opposition also has to be taken into account.

 

[Ped78]

Furthest a goal has ever been scored from in the Europa apparently

That’s brilliant

 

[Jan Žižka]

54.6 yards!

 

[Corkinator]

In my 48 years that’s the most beautiful Rangers goal I’ve ever seen! I’ve watche more important that meant more....but that fecking goal was absolutely incredible!! Big love!

 

[Fu Manchu]

Glorious.

 

[Corkinator]

I was delighted at him keeping the ball and relieving pressure, but to ping it from there and score.

Wow. Jumped across the living room.

Looks like he took even less shit leaving the pitch.

It’s the way he looked up I thought “no way”...WAY!

 

[SuperGers07]

Possibly tops Wallace vs Dortmund as our greatest ever European goal!?

Probably our best ever goal

 

[Trueblue82]

Furthest distance goal ever scored in the Europa League apparently.

[CheltBlue]

That becomes greatest team goal

 

[Kentbear]

Unfuckinbelievable might be the word required.

 

[I'm So Bored With The MSM]

54.6 yards!

He's going for 55 next!

I assume that the children of a lesser God will be replying to that with their usual Sevco / new club pish whilst their own club is parting* its’ metaphorical cheeks and accepting the rampant rod of Italian masculinity.

*when I say parting, I mean gagging for it.

 

[DougieJones]

The more you watch it the better it gets - power to win the ball, beat 3 men then a perfect, powerful connection on the worst possible surface - that flew in. My patterdale terrier nearly took a chunk out me I shouted so loud!

 

[Zwingli'sSausages]

A moment of magic.

 

[roscof]

The hold up play before it too

Naw. The hold up play, especially!!

 

[Scarlett]

I've had to pour myself a gin to calm down after that.

Who was the prick on here that didn't think Roofe was all that good? The jury was still out, apparently.

 

[LyonGer]

When he hit it I thought that maybe he was just clearing to give us breathing space as he was on the right hand side of the pitch, there was a camera gap and then whoosh!

I'll never tire of watching that.

I've just watched it upteem times.
I'm in love.

[Belfastblue85]

Dam shame we've no away support for that going in.

 

[alan78]

Everyone was thinking at the time, good clearance lol

Makes you wonder why we were in pursuit of him for so long, and now he’s here.

 

[NDC bear forever]

There’s yer Puskas award winner 2020.

 

[attack-hands]

repost

 

[Disraeli]

There’s a handful of great goals in footballing history scored form inside the players own half. Beckham and Xabi Alonso spring to mind.

I can think of no case in which a player who scored in his own half has done so much work in the build up. Roofe won the ball with a great tackle then beat three men before he shot.

It’s an historic goal - one that will still be getting shown in compilations 100 years from now.

 

[RTamID]

Anyone got a gif/video? Not got BT

 

[Boba Fett]

It's the top post over on r/soccer on Reddit at the moment.

The OP is bang on about the exposure this will give the club worldwide.

 

[scotto]

I was watching the game on the iPad in silence with the earphones in but gave out the loudest roar when that hit the net. What a fright the wife and kids got.

 

[JW1988]

I don’t think it’s our best ever European goal.

It’s our best ever goal. Period

A genuine sit there aghast at what you’ve just saw. When he hit it I said “what the %^*& is he doing”
Another one of my famous moments along with demanding Tony Vidmar be subbed before he rifled in against Parma
