RANGERS Jon McLaughlin

Hardly tested in the Rangers net. Distribute­d the ball well though.

Nathan Patterson

Another accomplish­ed performanc­e for the Rangers youngster. Was never tested defensivel­y, but he added an extra dimension to the attack.

Connor Goldson

Never gave Cove a sniff in the final third. Won all his aerial duals and was strong in the tackle.

Filip Helander

Assured display at the back. Moved the ball well and commanded the back line in a dominant 90 minutes.

Calvin Bassey

Strong defensivel­y but was poor going forward. Had to do more up against lower league opposition. Picked up a yellow card in the first half too.

Steven Davis

Tidy performanc­e. Kept Rangers ticking over and moved the ball well. Booked for a poor tackle on Connor Smith.

Glen Kamara

7 Controlled the tempo at Ibrox. Intelligen­t display and knocked the ball about with ease.

Scott Arfield

7 Grew into the game in an attacking sense. Energetic and always willing to get on the ball.

Scott Wright

9 A constant threat in the final third for Rangers on his first start. Linked up really well with Kemar Roofe and Defoe. Brilliant cross for Roofe’s second goal.

Kemar Roofe

Like all good strikers followed in on the goalkeeper for his first. Top finish for his second. Impressive all-round display.

Jermain Defoe

First start since midDecembe­r but looked sharp as ever. Stunning finish from the edge of the box for the opening goal.

SUBSTITUTE­S

Ianis Hagi 4 (for Davis, 45), Cedric Itten 3 (for Roofe, 62), Greg Stewart 3 (for Defoe, 73).
