After a rebuilding job last summer, Steven Gerrard had a core of a side in which to work around in the summer. He went on to sign 11 players. Some have immediately made an impact at first-team level, others are more projects for the future, while some are still waiting to make their mark at the club. How have each fared so far this campaign?


. Filip Helander - 9
Started to form a fine partnership with Connor Goldson. Looks so unfazed coming into Scottish football and displayed the composure of a defender who has played at a high level.

. George Edmundson - 6
Seldom seen as the clubs fourth-choice centre-back. Has been talked up by coaches.

. Steven Davis - 10
A class above. Rangers playmaker from deep. Sees and makes passes others cant. Such a steadying influence. As helped the progression of Ryan Jack.

. Joe Aribo - 7
Could see early on the Nigerian is a very talented player. Has not quite done enough to get into the best XI with the balance of the midfield not quite suiting him at times. Huge promise.
