Rangers player ratings v Motherwell as James Tavernier impresses for visitors

Here is how each of the Rangers starting XI rated in the 5-1 victory over Motherwell.

McGregor

Very little to do. Called into action to tip an O'Hara free-kick onto the bar, but wasn't involved a great deal. Nothing he could do about the Edmundson own goal. 7

Tavernier

A brilliant showing from the Rangers skipper. No nonsense from the spot, and helped ensure the match was won by half-time. His goal scoring form is quite ridiculous for a full-back and he wanted more than just the two goals. Rarely troubled defensively. 9

Helander

A last-ditch tackle to stop Watt from running through on goal, and made some important blocks at 1-0. A strong performance from the big defender. Replaced by Balogun in the second half with the match already won. 7

Goldson

Another strong showing alongside Helander. He's been such a huge part of Rangers' strong defensive record, and although there was no clean sheet today, he was rock-solid once more. Super reliable. 7

Bassey

Chipped ball led to the penalty award. A really impressive showing from the full-back. Plenty of pace and power. Not afraid to go forward and strong defensively. Looks like the natural successor to Barisic when the Croatian eventually moves on. 8

Davis

Playing so well right now. His passing ability keeps Rangers going in the middle of the park, and still has so much energy to give the team. Involved in a brilliant move in the first half which saw Kent have a shot deflected over the bar. 8

Arfield

Wonderful vision to set Jones free for Rangers' second goal. He's been a huge plus for Steven Gerrard in recent weeks with some really strong performances – and it was another today. Seems to be close to hitting the form he did the season before last. 8

Kamara

A consistent performer in the Rangers midfield and today was no different. Lots of energy and combined well with Davis and Arfield. Always uses the ball well. 7

Jones

His goal to make it 2-0 was a cracker. Really smart run to latch on to Arfield's pass and a confident finish. Showed incredible pace and looked lively throughout. He'll be hoping that's something of a turning point in his Rangers career. 8

Kent

Not quite as involved as he was against Willem II in midweek, but another strong performance. His quick feet caused Motherwell all kinds of problems and it was his corner which led to the third Rangers goal. Subbed for a well earned break with 20 to go. 7

Morelos

Involved in the move for Jones' goal, and his all round game was very good. Lovely touch to tee up Ryan Kent in the first half, and dropped deep to get involved in the game throughout. Looking really sharp again.  7
