Rangers player ratings vs Hibs as Fashion Sakala and Antonio Colak shine at Easter Road

Rangers picked up a massive win at Easter Road as they recovered from an early setback to hit FOUR past Hibs.

Connor Goldson turned the ball past Allan McGregor for an own goal with less than ten minutes on the clock for the perfect start for the hosts but skipper James Tavernier levelled 90 seconds later from the penalty spot for his 97th strike for the club following a VAR check after a foul on Ryan Kent. Antonio Colak was then on target with an excellent close-range effort past David Marshall with the Hibs veteran then punished early in the second period by Fashion Sakala after a slack clearance.

Colak - rewarded with another start by Michael Beale over Alfredo Morelos after his performance against Kilmarnock - grabbed his second of the night to make it four for the visitors with his fellow attacker Sakala playing a key role in all the goals as the Ibrox men ran riot in the capital. Here's how we rated the Light Blues as they ran riot in Leith..

Allan McGregor - 6

No chance at opener. Quieter evening than he probably expected.

James Tavernier - 7

Perfect penalty to level 90 seconds after Hibs opener. Always offering on overlap. 97 goals for the club now with 100 mark edging closer and closer.

Connor Goldson - 6

Horror start with an own goal after just eight minutes but recovered with solid display. Always a danger with his cross-field ball.

Ben Davies - 6

Growing into his role beside Goldson with each passing 90 minutes. Calm and composed figure. Big difference now he is fully fit.

Borna Barisic - 6

Ridvan Yilmaz returned for the B side yesterday as he steps up his injury recovery. Croatian first choice been solid under Beale and always offering on overlap. Denied by stunning David Marshall save.

Ryan Jack - 8

Playing for his future with his contract up the summer. Doing his chances no harm. Works hard and not afraid to get stuck in. Did excellent to get ball into path of Fashion Sakala for Rangers' third.

Nicolas Raskin - 7

Always looking to get on the ball. Collecting deep an orchestrating the play. Looks a great find in his early Ibrox life.

Todd Cantwell - 6

Like Raskin growing into life as a Rangers player game by game. Looking sharper with each passing game. Not afraid to get stuck in.

Fashion JR - 9

Always a threat with his pace. Key role in all goals .Two goals and an assist in this one. A real asset under Michael Beale. Punished slack David Marshall clearance with empathic finish.

Ryan Kent - 6

Won penalty after his heavy touch allowed Hibs player to lunge in and catch him. Had a big chance on 20 mins after breaking the lines but expertly denied by Chris Cadden. Still to decide on his future beyond summer.

Antonio Colak - 8

Rewarded after an excellent all-round display against Kilmarnock. Brilliant finish from his first chance before a tidy second strike. Real goal poacher.

Subs

Scott Wright - 4

Another sub appearance. Something he's had to get used to under Beale.

Scott Arfield - 4

Part of five changes. Another run out for the veteran who will be eyeing more minutes vs Raith Rovers at the weekend.

Alfredo Morelos - 4

Final 13 minutes after watching Antonio Colak strike twice. Future up in the air like Kent and many others.

John Lundstram - 4

Benched last couple of games. Facing a real battle to claim regular starting spot with plenty options in middle of park.

Ianis Hagi - 4

More minutes in the legs are he continues comeback from long term injury
