Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd believes Connor Goldson has been the key to his old club's sensational early season form.
Steven Gerrard's side hold a nine point lead at the top of the Premiership, albeit having played two games more than Celtic, while conceding just three goals.
And while the focus was very much on the attackers after an 8-0 win over Hamilton, Boyd believes it's one of the men at the other end who is making a big difference.
The Ibrox legend said on the Sky Sports Scottish Football podcast : "I must say, it goes unnoticed a lot of the time.
"The one who, for me, has really impressed for Rangers this year and is making a big, big difference to the clean sheet thing is Connor Goldson.
"I don't know if it's because obviously the stadiums are empty but you can hear him organise and communicate.
"That's maybe something we'd said before was lacking but not so much now.
"I know winning games of football breeds confidence but he wants to get on the ball, he wants to start things.
"You can hear him telling the guys to calm down as well and be composed on the ball.
"He's very, very well-drilled on what Rangers are doing and he's pivotal to how high they are to go and press.
"You can hear him screaming at the guys: 'Press! Press! Press!'.
"So he's got a big influence even though he's not the captain."
