9. Kemar Roofe - 7
Slightly different role to accommodate Morelos, but dropping deeper didn't affect his influence and another game where he made it look easy. Got on the scoresheet and close with an audacious tight-angle lob before being replaced. Photo: Rob Casey - SNS Group
10. Ianis Hagi - 8
Set up the opener but influence in dictating the tempo of the attacks, harrying the defence and moving Rangers forward outdid his ball-work in a mature performance showing other positives of his current form. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
11. Alfredo Morelos - 8
Atoned for last week's miss with well-taken goal. Dropped in to midfield less but still id his work tracking back. Goal will have done striker world of good after long domestic barren spell. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
12. Steven Gerrard
Rangers manager will have no complaints with a 13th straight league win and no evident injuries to add to his current off-field issues with Scott Arfield an Ryan Jack. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
