Making his 400th appearance at Rangers, spilled the ball in the first 30 seconds and almost robbed by Connolly in the second half but otherwise his usual stable, reliable presence at the back. And another shutout.

St Mirren curtailed his influence in last game and did similar in this league encounter. Defensively sound though booked in the first half.

No problems. Defender was restored to the line-up and had a steady, uneventful return. On hand to clear on two occasions in the second half when the ball popped around the penalty area.

Comfortable afternoon for defender, aside from being caught by a flailing arm from Jon Obika in the second half that brought a yellow card for the Saints forward.
