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."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
