RANGERS
JON MCLAUGHLIN 6
Moved the ball out well from the back and claimed several Saints crosses. Never really tested with a save.
JAMES TAVERNIER 6
First start since February 18 and looked a bit off the pace. Defended well but was not his usual attacking threat.
CONNOR GOLDSON 6
Has been so consistent all season but wasn’t up to scratch at McDiarmid Park. Kane caused him problems.
JACK SIMPSON 5
Far from convincing on his Rangers debut. Looked shaky in possession and gave away the penalty late on.
BORNA BARISIC 5
Deliveries from set pieces were not up to his usual standards. Was camped inside his own half for much of the 90 minutes.
GLEN KAMARA 7
Rangers’ best player. On a tricky pitch the midfielder was tidy and composed in possession. Always looked for the forward pass.
STEVEN DAVIS 7
Great shift in the middle of the park. Kept the ball moving and picked up on plenty loose balls.
IANIS HAGI 6
Looked to get in behind at every opportunity after feeding his striking teammates.
SCOTT WRIGHT 6
Brilliant finish for the opener. Saw plenty of the ball otherwise but didn’t do a whole lot with it.
KEMAR ROOFE 6
Never had any clear sights of goal but linked up with his teammates well in the final third.
CEDRIC ITTEN 6
Held the ball up well and linked play in the final third. Formed a decent partnership with Roofe.
SUBS
NATHAN PATTERSON (FOR TAVERNIER, 62) 4
Was given a rest after a busy period but played his part from the bench.
SCOTT ARFIELD (FOR DAVIS, 69) 4
Had a late attempt on goal that was saved well by Clark.
JOE ARIBO (FOR WRIGHT, 69) 6
Changed the game when he came on. Injected energy into the Gers attack.
JERMAIN DEFOE (FOR HAGI, 78) 4
Kept the Perth defence busy late on.
CALVIN BASSEY (FOR BARISIC, 78) 4
On for a late defensive shift.
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
