Rangers ratings

JACK BUTLAND

Struggled with the ball at his feet. A good save from Daizen Maeda prevented a second and kept his side in the game before an incredible dive stopped the Japanese forward’s header. Had no chance with the goals.

JAMES TAVERNIER

Struggled up against Maeda’s electric pace and Energizer Bunny work rate in a shocking first half. Stood tall to put his penalty in the top corner and was much improved as the game wore on.

CONNOR GOLDSON

Once again in an Old Firm, it was not his best day at the office and looked shaky. Missed a terrific chance with a header from just three yards out.

JOHN SOUTTAR

Solid and burst out from the back to decent effect. Got a bad head knock and sported a large bandage for much of the proceedings. Did not cover himself in glory with his one- on- one defending for Celtic’s third.

DUJON STERLING

A composed presence and willing runner. One of the players for coach Philippe Clement to build this team around. Good on the ball, quick and powerful. Partially to blame for Celtic’s winner but had a good game overall.

MOHAMED DIOMANDE

Gave the ball away time and again in dangerous areas, often under little pressure. Looked a player overawed by the occasion but settled in the second half until his substitution.

JOHN LUNDSTRAM

Tough day at the office. Worked hard but struggled to fully impose himself. Lacks the mobility to take the ball and turn through the press. With Celtic sitting in, he was expected to orchestrate and that is not his strength.

SCOTT WRIGHT

One of the better players in the first half but that has to be taken in context of how poor Rangers were. He did not have a huge impact. Subbed at the break to make way for Abdallah Sima.

TOM LAWRENCE

A poor showing from the Welshman who did little to justify his inclusion ahead of Todd Cantwell. Created little and too often tried to force play unsuccessfully.

FABIO SILVA

Lacked the pace in behind to trouble Alistair Johnston. Had one golden chance as the first half drew to a close but his low shot was stopped by Joe Hart. A brilliant chop in the box meant he was felled for the penalty.

CYRIEL DESSERS

Toiled away, pressing hard but unable to offer much attacking threat. Was not given much service and is not a player who creates his own moments. Unlucky to see a goal ruled out after a sharp close- range finish.
