Ibrox News gives the Rangers players’ performances a score of 10 here.

Jack Butland: Five

When Miovski got close to his goal and scored the equalizer, the Gers number one hesitated a little bit, and Butland was probably not impressed with his performance. After that, he didn’t have a lot of saves to make.

James Tavernier, number six

The Rangers captain experienced an atypically quiet evening as he was unable to play as much forward as he would have wanted and had to perform a great deal of defending.

Connor Goldson, age five

Like Butland, the central defender will have been disappointed with his efforts for Aberdeen’s goal, with Goldson beaten for both pace and strength as Miovski levelled the scores.

John Souttar – 7

Souttar did a great job as he stepped in for the injured Leon Balogun, winning several battles against the very dangerous Miovski.

Ridvan Yilmaz – 6

The left-back who was connected to the exit made an outstanding contribution, supporting his team both offensively and defensively, as he replaced Ridvan Yilmaz.

Lawrence is excellent for the Rangers.

8 (Man of the Match) points to Tom Lawrence

Regretfully, injuries have kept Lawrence out of the lineup for Rangers fans, but they had a chance to see just how brilliant he is against the Dons, where the midfielder put on an excellent showing all around. Although he did not score, Cantwell’s long-range effort in the second half secured a crucial three points for the home team.

John Lundstram – 6

The enforcer in midfield put on another strong performance for Clement, keeping the game moving and assisting in preventing any Aberdeen breaks.

Rabbi Matondo, age seven

The winger was a major threat from the start, demonstrating excellent reflexes to be the first to parry Ross McCausland’s shot and score the goal, despite his brief second half being incredibly quiet.

Todd Cantwell, age 7

At Ibrox, Cantwell was once again the creative spark, and similar to Matondo, he was the first to respond when Lawrence made a long-range effort to put the hosts ahead.

Five Ross McCausland

The winger attacked with speed and directness as usual, but even if his meek effort set up Matondo’s goal, his end product let him down.

Ibrox challenges for Desser

Cyriel Dessers – 4

The summer signing has been among the goals lately, but he had no such luck against the Dons, with his poor outing summed up with Clement’s decision to bring him off before the hour mark.

Substitutes

Oscar Cortes (on for Matondo, 56′) – N/A

Fabio Silva (on for Dessers, 57′) – 6

The Wolves loanee consistently poses a serious threat to the opposing defense as his Ibrox career really takes off, and the substitute turned in a noteworthy performance off the bench.

Lawrence (on for Dujon Sterling, 75′) – 1

After entering the Ibrox pitch to help the home team finish with a significant victory, Sterling was sent off with a straight red card just 13 minutes later for an irresponsible tackle on Jack MacKenzie.

Mohamed Diomande – N/A (on for Cantwell, 85′)
