Vaclav Cerny has admitted Rangers owed the supporters victory in the Europa League after defeat to Kilmarnock at the weekend.
The winger - on loan from Vfl Wolfsburg - scored a double to help his side to a 4-0 triumph at Ibrox.
And Cerny revealed he felt he and his team-mates owed it to the supporters to achieve a result and bring back a positive atmosphere at Rangers.
"We all needed that," he said on TNT Sports. "We owed the fans a good result from the game which I think we did.
"It was a good first-half and dominant, obviously we were a bit lucky in the beginning but it turned good and it was a very, very strong performance which we needed.
"We just wanted to bring the good atmosphere back which I hope we did."

Cerny recovered from his agony against Lyon when he missed a big chance to net two impressive strikes against the Romanian champions but insisted that was just a bonus on top of the much-needed three points.
"You have got to have the fire and will every single time but obviously this is a big stage and again as a team we needed a big win," he said.
"Personally, it is always good to be on the scoresheet but that is not the main thing. I am glad I could do that but I am so happy with those three important points."
Cerny had suggested his side were fortunate after an early FCSB goal was ruled out for a foul on Jack Butland with Marco Di Bello's decision backed by a VAR check.
However, he refused to further comment on the matter as he insisted he didn't have a proper view of the incident.
On the major call, Cerny commented: "It is football. From my point of view I cannot say anything because I didn't see it properly."
