Allan McGregor (7/10)
Made a couple of saves early on but was unable to do anything about the goal they conceded. However, Rangers took control from then on.
James Tavernier (9/10)
Best player on the night. Defended tirelessly and converted his penalty from the spot. Tavernier has looked brilliant under Steven Gerrard.

Joe Worrall (7/10)
Alongside Katic, Worrall defended fruitfully. The defensive pairing seems to work well together.
Andrew Hallyday (7/10)
Showed good work rate throughout the game. He caused all sorts of problems and stretched the Motherwell defenders out of their position.
Ryan Jack (8/10)

Eros Grezda (8/10)
Scored two superb goals and caused all sorts of issues down the right flank.
Scott Arfield (7/10)
Arfield scored a brace as well and created a number of opportunities. The midfielder should now maintain consistency in his displays.
