How the Rangers players rated in 3-2 Betfred Cup quarter-final defeat against St Mirren

Rangers crashed out of the Betfred Cup quarter final in a pulsating 3-2 defeat in Paisley.

Connor Goldson swept Rangers into an early lead but a late penalty in the first-half gave St Mirren a lifeline after a dominant display from the visitors.

The home side went ahead with Jamie McGrath’s second of the night shortly after the break and looked to be seeing out a memorable win before Steven Davis struck the equaliser after James Tavernier’s free-kick hit the post.

But there would be no extra-time as St Mirren rallied again and scored from close range in injury time to deny Steven Gerrard’s team a place in the semi-final.
