So much for Liverpool being fragile. It was men against boys for Rangers at Anfield and the only consolation for Giovanni van Bronckhorst and his men is that the damage wasn't worse.
They had Allan McGregor to thank for keeping the scoreline down as he found himself in a personal duel with Darwin Nunez at one stage but was left with no chance at Trent Alexander-Arnold's brilliant free kick and a Mo Salah penalty.
The defeat on Merseyside means Rangers are still without a point in Europe's premier competition at the halfway stage in Group A. They will have their chance for revenge when the Premier League giants head to Ibrox for the return but they will have to seriously improve their performance. Record Sport rated the players on a chastening night.
