Rangers kicked off the gruelling December month with a comfortable win over Hearts. Do you agree with our ratings?
| Allan McGregor |
|---|
 |
| Had nothing much to do. 6 |
| James Tavernier |
|---|
 |
| Rarely troubled defensively, allowing him to bomb forward. He took up good positions on the touchline, made incisive runs in-behind and whipped in some good crosses. Better from the captain.7 |
| Connor Goldson |
|---|
 |
| The big Englishman struggled to deal with Ikpeazu, but restricted him enough. Didn't have much else to do. 6 |
| Filip Helander |
|---|
 |
| Like Goldson, Helander had nothing much to do, but he was guilty of being too slow to clean up mistakes in possession early on. 6 |
| Borna Barisic |
|---|
 |
| The big Croat was rarely troubled. Another fantastic cross from his wand of a left-foot teed-up Morelos for the first goal. 8 |
| Joe Aribo |
|---|
 |
| The former Charlton Athletic man occupied one of the more advanced midfield positions, showing glimpses of his running ability and close control, but a few instances of sloppy play crept in. He made the second goal, running in-behind and squaring it for Kent. 7 |
| Steven Davis |
|---|
 |
| The wee man was immense, completely dictating the tempo of the play; Neat and intricate when he had to be, then played some exquisite raking passes to open up the Hearts defence. Gersnet's Man of the Match9 |
| Glen Kamara |
|---|
 |
| Another assured performance, executing his job with quiet efficiency. Broke up the play, drove us forward when needed and was always an option on the ball. 7 |
| Scott Arfield |
|---|
 |
| The Canadian international played a deeper role in the side, which saw him involved in the build-up play to great affect, but he is still a shadow of last season's player. 7 |
| Ryan Kent |
|---|
 |
| The tricky winger was quiet for spells, but he just gets better and better. Always a danger, taking the ball in tight situations and driving at the Hearts defence. Topped it off with a well-taken goal. 8 |
| Alfredo Morelos |
|---|
 |
| Grabbed the first goal, but had an unusually quiet game. Replaced by Defoe towards the end. 7 |
Substitutes
| Sheyi Ojo |
|---|
 |
| Showed energy and desire in the late stages by recovering the ball in the lead-up to the 4th goal. 6 |
| Jermain Defoe |
|---|
 |
| Showed some terrific movement when he came on, and was unlucky not to grab a couple of goals. 6 |
| Greg Stewart |
|---|
 |
| Came on for the last 15 minutes, showing glimpses of his movement and guile, and grabs a couple of goals. We can't ask for any more. 7 |
