Philippe Clement’s team closed the distance between them and Celtic to just three points following their 3-0 victory against the Lions at Ibrox. Silva scored the first goal, Matondo added another just before halftime, and Cantwell sealed the win in the second half.
Silva scored his first-ever goal for Rangers with a calmly executed finish in the 40th minute, marking his second start for the club.

He capitalized on a loose ball from a corner and fired his shot past Shamal Geroge in the Livingston net from close range, giving Rangers the lead.
The Portuguese under-21 international joined the club on loan from Premier League side Wolves for the remainder of the season.
The Gers have faced numerous issues in their attacking line this season, but Silva’s impressive performance in his third league appearance has raised hopes among fans that their scoring output can improve.
Supporters have taken to social media to praise the 21-year-old, with some already convinced that the club should secure his permanent signing at the end of the season.
Great goal! Silva appears to be a talented player, hopefully the first of many #RangersFC https://t.co/aVq37RNpj2
On the path to 56!
Secure him on a permanent basis. This young player will only get better.
Silva is an exceptional player ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I had my doubts, but this guy is an incredibly skilled footballer. https://t.co/xNJ4zcfGxF
Hardworking throughout the entire game! Glad he scored!
My prediction for Rangers: Keep an eye on Silva, he possesses something truly special. His play demonstrates flashes of brilliance, such as the shot he took with the outside of his boot and his attempted overhead kick. Once he establishes a strong connection with his teammates, we will witness his true potential.
Fabio Silva is a superb footballer with a lot of class.
