Thelo Aasgaard has made history by becoming the first player from Rangers to score at a World Cup in 28 years. The 24-year-old midfielder, who faced challenges during his debut season at Ibrox, has now showcased his talent on a global stage, earning a call-up to Norway's World Cup squad.

In a surprising turn of events, Aasgaard was given a starting position against France in the final group game, where he seized the opportunity to shine. Trailing 2-0, Aasgaard displayed remarkable skill and composure, executing a clever maneuver that left Bayern Munich's Michael Olise off-balance. He then fired a low shot past French goalkeeper Mike Maignan, bringing Norway back into the match.

Ally McCoist, a former Rangers player and now a commentator, praised Aasgaard's performance, describing the goal as "beautiful" and highlighting his impressive body movement. McCoist, who had previously been critical of Aasgaard's performances, acknowledged the significance of the moment, stating, "It's a lovely goal, wasn't it? The defender just buys the dummy."

Commentator Jon Champion noted that Aasgaard's achievement marked a significant milestone, as he became the first Rangers player to score at a World Cup since Brian Laudrup netted against Brazil in 1998. Aasgaard's record is impressive, with six goals in just nine international appearances, showcasing his potential as a rising star in football.

Despite a rocky start at Rangers, Aasgaard's recent performances have helped shift the narrative around him, proving that he can deliver on the big stage. His goal not only contributed to Norway's efforts in the tournament but also solidified his place in Rangers' history.
