Premiership giants Rangers continued to their unbeaten run this season with a 3-2 comeback victory against Standard Liege in the Europa League. The away side took the lead on a couple of separate occasions, only for Rangers to turn things around later on. Steven Gerrard’s men came back from the first Liege goal through a Connor Goldson header, after which a James Tavernier penalty brought then level a second time. It finally took a well-crafted Scott Arfield goal to give the Ibrox club the advantage. The win means that Rangers have now progressed into the next round of the Europa League with a game still to spare.

Allan McGregor – 7
The veteran stopper looked confident in between the sticks for the most part and was composed when collecting set-pieces as well. Made a couple of smart saves over the ninety too.
James Tavernier – 7
The Rangers skipper scored the Ibrox club’s second equalising goal tonight from the penalty spot. He defended effectively when required to and tried to get forward whenever possible.
Connor Goldson – 7.5
The Englishman’s defensive sturdiness was display once again tonight as he held his position extremely well in the second half. Did well to pull away from his marker and score a goal as well.

Borna Barisic – 7

Steven Davis – 7.5
The veteran midfielder’s contributions in the middle of the park continue to increase in importance with each passing game. Kept the ball well and played some slick passes in attack too.
Glen Kamara – 8
