ALLAN MCGREGOR Rarely troubled in the first half as Livingston failed to threaten. Just as comfortable after the break but did save well from Lawless. 6
JAMES TAVERNIER Couple of crosses didn’t find the target but played his part going forward overall. Comfortable in his own half on a straightforward afternoon. 7
CONNOR GOLDSON Was excellent against Porto in midweek and a commanding presence on a very different occasion here. Handled the physical threat of Dykes well. 8
FILIP HELANDER Didn’t look comfortable on his previous outing here but was far more assured this time around. Impressed once again and will be hard to shift now. 7
BORNA BARISIC Has become a dependable performer for Gerrard in recent times and this continued the theme. Got an assist as he set up Morelos and unlucky not to score late on. 7
RYAN JACK The deepest of the midfield three and helped Rangers control the game. Continued his fine form with a composed performance. 7
GLEN KAMARA Denied his second goal of the season here by a terrific Sarkic save. Excellent all round showing in the middle of the park. 7
JOE ARIBO Got the decisive opener as he finished off a neat move with a lovely finish. Always looked dangerous on the ball. 8
SCOTT ARFIELD Played a key role in the build-up to the first goal and made a number of smart runs. Work ethic was crucial for Rangers. 7
RYAN KENT Still waiting for his first goal of his second spell but put in a shift up and down the left flank. Picked up a knock shortly after the break and was replaced a few minutes later. 6
ALFREDO MORELOS Superb finish to make it 2-0 was the highlight of another excellent showing. Led the line with aplomb as his movement and strength caused Livingston problems all afternoon. 8

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
