Rangers player ratings as James Tavernier reaches 100 club but Ben Davies fails to make Celtic grade

Rangers left the east end of Glasgow without a point but they certainly made a point that they are set to make the Old Firm derby a competitive one again. Michael Beale lost his first league match but will be happy with aspects of his side's display at Parkhead, especially given they went to the home of their fierce rivals without any supporters.

James Tavernier netted a double to take his tally for the club to 100 goals but it ended up counting for nothing as defensive blunders from Ben Davies and John Souttar cost them a couple of goals. And it means they are twelve points behind the champions and realistically no hope of winning the title. However, the bigger picture is that they will have belief going into the Scottish Cup final later in the month and optimistic of mounting a challenge next season.

Record Sport has looked at how the visitors performed in a pulsating derby encounter and rated Beale's men who must now pick themselves up for a home league clash against St Mirren next Saturday and then a trip to Pittodrie before that huge Hampden showdown.
