Calvin Bassey and Joe Aribo came in to Steven Gerrard’s side while Scott Arfield and Borna Barisic were rested for the win, but there was still a familiar feel to the team – and the goalscorers at the Global Energy Arena – with Kemar Roofe turning in a James Tavernier pass for the first-half lead and then the roles reversed and the captain found the net for his 15th of the season before an own goal from the home side. Jermain Defoe rounded off the scoring in the closing stages.

6. Glen Kamara - 7
Always available to take a pass and keep the play moving and showed up all over the pitch. Not his best performance yet still exerts so much influence on that moving midfield. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group

8. Steven Davis - 8
Dictated the tempo throughout and that first-time cushioned pass is such a comfort to Rangers' midfield either going back to McGregor or Goldson or to release Tavernier as he did for the opener. Photo: Rob Casey - SNS Group
