JON MCLAUGHLIN 7
Was kept busier than he would have expected and made a handful of smart stops to deny Falkirk.
JAMES TAVERNIER 8
Netted his 14th goal of the campaign with an excellent strike and was a real driving force as usual.
CONNOR GOLDSON 7
Assist for Defoe sums up the improvements in his passing this term. Rarely troubled defensively.
CALVIN BASSEY 7
Slotted into centre-back slot with ease and opened his account with a neat finish from close range.
BORNA BARISIC 8
Always looking to be positive and get forward. Stunning free-kick capped off a fine performance.
BONGANI ZUNGU 7
A couple of slack moments but quality on the ball is clear to see.
SCOTT ARFIELD 7
Returned to his first club and continued his fine form with another accomplished showing.
IANIS HAGI 7
Looked more dangerous when moved into the forward line and impressed.
BRANDON BARKER 2
Forced off injured early on as a chance to impress came to a premature end.
CEDRIC ITTEN 7
Certainly has something about him but perhaps tried too hard searching for the goal his play deserved.
JERMAIN DEFOE 8
Opened the scoring with a lovely finish and lead the line well for Rangers as he did what was required once again.
Substitutes:
GLEN KAMARA 7
(for Barker, 25) Typically assured and composed in midfield.
GLENN MIDDLETON 6
(for Barisic, 55) Looked bright on his first appearance since April 2019.
CIARAN DICKSON 6
(for Arfield, 55) Performed well as he made his debut for Rangers.
GREG STEWART 3
(for Tavernier, 71) Made a rare appearance late on.
LEON KING 3
(for Zungu, 71) Looked the part on his first team bow.
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
