How the Rangers players rated in their 2-2 draw with St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park.
ALLAN McGREGOR: Made a smart early save to deny Callum Hendry but couldn’t keep out a shot from the same player minutes later. Barely involved in the second half until Stevie May drew Saints level. 6
JAMES TAVERNIER: Always eager to get forward although his crosses often didn’t pick out a team-mate. Claimed an assist for Florian Kamberi’s equalising goal and then missed a golden chance to score not long after. 6
CONNOR GOLDSON: A few shaky moments as Hendry and Stevie May pressed high up the park and didn’t give the Rangers defence a moment’s peace, in the first half especially. 5
NIKOLA KATIC: Horrendous defending at St Johnstone’s first goal as he lumped a ball high into the sky then failed to respond when it came back down. Didn’t fare much better at the second goal either as he failed to clear a corner. 4
ANDY HALLIDAY: Back in for the injured Borna Barisic at left-back, depriving Rangers of an attacking outlet. Hooked at half-time. 5
RYAN JACK: Another who returned to the team after serving a midweek suspension. Dipping first-half volley almost caught out Zander Clark. Solid, unfussy display. 6
JOE ARIBO: European display saw the former Charlton man catapulted into the starting line-up. Pushed into left-back again for the second half but still managed to get forward to nudge Rangers’ second goal over the line. 7
SCOTT ARFIELD: Tried valiantly to get forward to support the front three whenever he could as Rangers looked to get back into the game. 6
IANIS HAGI: A lot quieter than his match-winning heroics against Braga as he failed to make a major impact. 5
ALFREDO MORELOS: Has barely kicked a ball since returning from suspension, although his team-mates failed to create much for him on this occasion. Driven effort late in the first half was comfortably saved. 5
RYAN KENT: Better than some of his recent performances but still struggled to properly make an impact on the contest. Thumping low drive came close to bringing about a Rangers’ equaliser but needed to create more. 5
Substitutes:
FLORIAN KAMBERI: (for Halliday 46): Made an instant impact with a brilliant volley to draw Rangers level with the first goal of his loan spell from Hibernian. Had another effort well saved. 7
STEVEN DAVIS: (for Morelos 76): Sent on to try see Rangers over the line once they had forged in front only for Saints to equalise soon after. 5
GREG STEWART: (for Hagi 78): Another run-out off the bench for the former Kilmarnock man. 3
