How the Rangers players rated in the club's 5-0 Europea League victory over Lincoln Red Imps

Marks out of ten for the Ibrox men after convincing win

Steven Gerrard's Rangers side are in the next round of the Europa League thanks to a comfortable 5-0 win over Lincoln Red Imps.

Any prospect of following in Celtic’s footsteps and being humbled in Gibraltar were put to the side early on when James Tavernier dispatched a free-kick into the far corner of the net.

Connor Goldson gave the away side a two-goal cushion before the half with a header from a free-kick.

After surviving a brief scare, substitute Alfredo Morelos made sure of the win with a simple finish. The Colombian netted again with a lovely dink late on, but only after fellow-sub Jermain Defoe joined his team-mate on the scoresheet.
