Rangers were comfortable winners as they dispatched of Steaua Bucharest in their latest Europa League tie. Here's how the players rated in their 4-0 win over the Romanians..
. Jack Butland 7 Certainly looked to get away with one with a supposed foul subsequently ruling out an early opener for the visitors. A major let off for him and the team as a whole.
At the end of the day, though, it’s another clean sheet for him. James Tavernier 7 Rightly booked after 23 minutes for catching the Steaua goalkeeper late in a 50-50 challenge. Was in a great position to at least get a shot on target from about 20 yards out, but fired over.
Went for power over placement, when the opposite seemed the better option. Produced a great defensive header to stop a potential Steaua goal. Leon Balogun 7 Came across to the left well with a sliding tackle to halt what could’ve been a dangerous counter by the visitors.
A solid display. John Souttar 7 Impressively burst up the right wing a couple of times. Once he steps out with the ball and gets that long stride going, he looks tough to stop.
Much better than he was against Killie. Jefte 7 Excelled when sweeping up the ball in the left-back area in one notable situation during the first half. Initially, he broke up the field at pace, but slowly but surely grinded to a halt, before being easily dispossessed despite the loud shouts from the crowd.
Showed much quicker reactions to take the ball of the toe of a Steaua player with a clear shot at goal from.
