Rangers player ratings as Steven Davis and Glen Kamara shine in dogged Ibrox win

It wasn't the best performance but it might be one that makes Steven Gerrard happiest.

Rangers weren't at their best throughout the game but managed to get a win by grinding it out against tough opposition.

It wasn't the greatest night for most of the team but the likes of Glen Kamara, Steven Davis, Ryan Kent and Scott Arfield stepped up in the second half.

It was another night where James Tavernier got a goal while Alfredo Morelos worked as hard as he could as they reached the last 32 of the Europa League.

And here's how they all rated.

McGregor

Couldn't do much for the two goals and made a good save from Tapsoba in the second half at 3-2. 7

Tavernier

Probably his worst performance of the season but got yet another goal and never hid. He's showing his leadership skills every game he plays now. 15 goals before Christmas for a right back? Unheard of. 6

Goldson

Didn't play well and was poor at the opening goal. Did score a great header to equalise but he won't have been happy with his overall performance. 6

Balogun

Didn't do much wrong but could have done slightly better at the second goal. Overall defended well and made a great tackle to stop Tapsoba getting through late on. 7

Barisic

Almost scored the goal of the season with a stunning free kick. Got another assist to set up Goldson and played well down the left hand side. Another strong performance. 7

Davis

Like most of the team, he really struggled in the first half but he was excellent during the second half and played a big part in Rangers qualifying. He looks like he could still play for years. 7

Arfield

Another player who struggled in the first half but was again brilliant in the second half. Scored the winner and is making himself a first pick for this Rangers side. 7

Kamara

Arguably the most consistent player for Rangers over the 90 minutes. Played a great ball through to Kent for the second goal and battled well throughout the match. A very good performance from the Finn. 8

Roofe

Not his night. Missed a sitter late on and struggled to really get involved in this game. The former Leeds man has been excellent since joining but he won't be happy tonight. 5

Morelos

Like Roofe, it just wasn't his night. He worked hard and tried his best but struggled in the first half in particular. He's changed his game this season and his workrate is excellent but his end product wasn't there tonight. 5

Kent

Didn't play great but got himself an assist with a great ball back to Arfield. Like the other front two he didn't enjoy his best match but can't argue with his end product. 6

Subs

Aribo

On for the final 15 minutes and showed his great control. 3

Zungu

Got the final five minutes as Rangers killed time. 2

Itten

On to kill time in the last few minutes. 1

Bassey

See Cedric Itten. 1
