“It was a great feeling to play at Ibrox and obviously start to the game," said the Rangers centre-back.
“That is always an amazing feeling, especially when you win and you make your home debut.
“I think we put in a good performance, we scored early in the game and that helped us to have more confidence and then to create more chances.
“Then we got the second and then the third goal which was good. We built on it and it is always better to score first as it gives you more confidence. It makes you more free to play your own game as well."
Asked how he's felt coming into the Rangers starting XI over the past week, Nsiala replied: "All of the boys and the coaching staff have been really great and they have helped me settle in.
“They have told me to keep it simple and do what I have been doing in training. That is why I am here.
“Playing in the B team helped me. It is always good to keep your tempo high.
“I played with the B team and I was training with the first-team as well, which was good as it kept me in contact with the group.”
