A decent performance which had its tricky moments but generally we were in control. We scored three cracking goals and probably should have had at least two more. Despite that , its hard to pick a MOTM because there were a lot of good performances but not really an outstanding one .I didn`t think anyone was really poor either , they all contributed to the team.
Butland ,I felt a first he was a wee bit slow reacting at the goal but seeing it again the guy just got there first .He has almost nothing to do all match , a few pass backs and catches.
Tavernier , a mixed bag , missed a penalty , scored a great goal ,was at fault for their goal , missed with another couple of shots and set up Dessers late on with a good cross.
Barisic , had a real steady game , combined well with Silva and put in some good crosses in open play and from corners that found no takers .Good return to the team.
Goldson , a bit too easy beat at the goal but mostly coped with the pace of the Hibs forwards , he has lost a bit of pace but managed to avoid being exposed in this game.
Souttar , another good performance, read the game well and covered his team mates , won a few headers , made interceptions and strolled forward well with the ball. Was smashed for the penalty.
Lundstram , once or twice his touch was bit heavy and gave up possession but mostly dominated , drove through midfield and combined well with his team mates .Good again.
Diomande , showed some good touches to win the ball but then always seemed to want to take the difficult option and gave the ball away again , not great but did a shift for the team.
Wright , was unlucky to have his goal disallowed and had one kicked of the line that he should have buried , carried the ball well and worked hard but needs to add composure . Not his worst game.
Cantwell , led the press well and was always available to help his team mates and receive the ball ,struggled to create anything until setting up Dessers with a fantastic cross. Bright and energetic.
Silva , had a disappointing afternoon , didn`t create anything and didn`t get into a scoring positions , got to credit his work rate , put in a real shift tracking back and covering his full back.
Dessers , scored a great header and had two more well saved , missed a really good chance but his overall hold up play , linking and pressing was great .Probably his best game in a Rangers shirt.
Lawrence , disappointing , had lots of chances to set things up but his touch was off and he gave the ball away .Had two great chances to get shots away but opted out and wasted the opportunities.
Sterling , came on on the right wing , but then had to switch to left back , added pace and physicality in both positions . Good to have him back.
McCausland , very quiet on his return, kept it simple and concentrated in keeping possession for the team.
Matondo , had a couple of great runs , scored a brilliant goal and set up Sima with a great chance , tremendous cameo at the end of game that terrified Hibs back line.
Sima great too see him back and could have topped off his return with a goal but shot wide .
I have found it really hard to pick a MOTM this week, I thought Souttar had another really good game but I`m going to be controversial and give it to Cyriel Dessers .I`m not a fan but credit where its due his over all game leading the line was good and he scored a great , and important, header .He only really missed one great chance which is a massive improvement for him.
