ALLAN MCGREGOR 7: Did the little he was required to well, quiet day at the office for the keeper but a couple of second-half saves.
JAMES TAVERNIER 7: Brilliant long pass set up Defoe for Rangers’ second in yet another accomplished performance.
CONNOR GOLDSON 6: Dealt well enough with the physical challenge of Emmanuel-Thomas, but a little loose in possession as game wore on.
FILIP HELANDER 7: Like his central defensive partner, dealt with what Livingston threw his way with little trouble.
CALVIN BASSEY 8: Bombed up and down the left-hand side as he backed up his impressive substitute appearance in Belgium on Thursday with another eye-catching display.
RYAN JACK 7: Controlled the game in the middle of the park and tried to make forward passes when he could.
STEVEN DAVIS 7: Worked well alongside Jack, kept things neat and tidy in possession and not giving Livi much of a sniff in the middle of the park.
JOE ARIBO 7: Tucked away opener with ease, but overall play caught the eye as he caused problems for Livi in the number 10 role.
IANIS HAGI 7: Showed great vision to lay on first goal for Aribo and was involved in a lot of good attacking play.
RYAN KENT 5: Moment of slackness almost gave Livi a route back in at 2-0, and had a quiet day overall by his own high standards.
JERMAINE DEFOE 8: Movement an absolute joy to watch and produced a sublime finish to get the 300th goal of his club career.

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
