Substitute­s ALLAN MCGREGOR

Didn’t have a save to make in the first half. Great stop on 70 minutes to keep Konrad Laimer at bay. Could do nothing to stop Christophe­r Nkunku’s goal.

JAMES TAVERNIER

Rangers’ captain fantastic was at it again. Given more attacking license and the decision paid off early on. Run to the back post for the opening goal was superb.

CONNOR GOLDSON

Booked early on for a fairly innocuous challenge but was lucky to avoid another one for a rash tackle later on in the first half. Good distributi­on.

CALVIN BASSEY

Aggressive off the ball and used his body well on it. Had to be careful after picking up a first-half booking.

BORNA BARISIC

Big tackle on Nkunku around the half-hour mark to deny a sight at goal. Booked due to a clumsy challenge and could have no complaints.

JOHN LUNDSTRAM

Usual dependable self. Calmest man in the stadium with the ball at his feet; resolute when winning it back. Right place at the right time to strike the winning goal.

RYAN JACK

Easily beaten on the halfway line but showed great determinat­ion to go haring after the ball and deny Yussuf Poulsen with a block that summed up his game.

GLEN KAMARA

Did well to hold off a challenge and release Ryan Kent for the opening goal. Went one better and showed remarkable composure with a delightful curling effort.

SCOTT WRIGHT

Guilty of a few loose touches and was a little slack in possession early on but grew into the game. Nice lay-off for Kamara for Rangers’ second.

JOE ARIBO

Failed to make it 3-0 when the ball fell to him six yards out. Another who had to be brought off after being struck in the head by Angelino’s powerful free-kick.

RYAN KENT

Sometimes accused of lacking a final ball, but his assist for Tavernier’s early goal was inch-perfect. Looked dangerous whenever afforded space.

Fashion Sakala (for Aribo, 45) Lively after coming off the bench. Went close with a header shortly after the restart. Scott Arfield (for Wright, 58) Brought a lot

of energy to the team. Nice skill to fashion a chance within minutes of coming on.

Leon Balogun (for Jack, 58) Slotted in at centreback as Lundstram moved into midfield.
