RAMS RATINGS

-

KELLE ROOS 6

Quickly out of his goal to save at the feet of Ilias Chair shortly before half-time. There were times he needed to speed up his distributo­n in the second half.

NATHAN BYRNE 6

Put in a crucial challenge on Ilias Chair as Rangers pressed for a second goal. Good, steady performanc­e from the right-back.

PHIL JAGIELKA 6

He and centre-back partner Curtis Davies were given plenty to think about by Rangers’ forward play, especially in the second period.

CURTIS DAVIES 6

He and Phil Jagielka were put under more pressure in the second half.

CRAIG FORSYTH 6

Had a good old tussle wth Albert Adomah, who provided a threat from Rangers’ right.

MAX BIRD 6.5

Impressed, plugged away, put in some big challenges in midfield.

LIAM THOMPSON 7.5

The 19-year-old followed his eye-catching performanc­es against Bournemout­h and Fulham with another. He has delivered three hugely encouragin­g displays since coming into the team.

GRAEME SHINNIE 7

Excellent first half, seemed to cover every blade of grass and what a pass for Tom Lawrence’s goal – pinpoint accuracy. Found it more difficult in the second half.

JASON KNIGHT 6

Never stopped working for the team, more involved in the first half than the second half.

TOM LAWRENCE 7.5

Pick that out of the net! The Wales internatio­nal latched on to Graeme Shinnie’s defencespl­itting pass to rifle an unstoppabl­e rising shot past Seny Dieng. Did not always make the best of some good positions, but he was Derby’s main threat.

RAVEL MORRISON 6

Some good moments in the first half but faded in the second.

SUBSTITUTE­S:

Kamil Jozwiak (for Morrison, 69) 6 Festy Ebosele (for Shinnie, 79) Colin Kazim-richards (for Knight, 79)
