RATINGS Rangers

Jon McLaughlin

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

Assist for Jermain Defoe sums up the improvements in his passing. Rarely troubled defensively.

Calvin Bassey

Slotted into centre- back slot with ease and opened his account with a neat finish from close range.

Borna Barisic

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

Returned to his first club and continued his fine form with another accomplished showing.

Ianis Hagi

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

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 led the line well.

SUBSTITUTES Glen Kamara

( for Barker, 25) Typically assured and composed. Glenn Middleton

( for Barisic, 55) Looked bright on his first outing since April 2019.
