Rangers player ratings v Aberdeen: Danilo, Propper flop, Hagi shines
Rangers picked up the three points against Aberdeen at Ibrox, beating them 3-0 on Wednesday night.
Hamza Igamane opened the scoring for Gers, giving them a much-deserved lead going into the break.
Despite creating plenty of chances, the hosts failed to add another goal until the dying stages of the contest with Leon Balogun scoring a header and Cyriel Dessers also scoring to secure maximum points for Philippe Clement’s side.
Here are our player ratings from the game:
Liam Kelly – 7
Made two routine saves and did not look nervy all game in what was an improved display from the goalkeeper.
Ridvan Yilmaz – 6
Looked solid defensively but was a bit wayward with his crossing and made a few questionable passes as well.
Robin Propper – 4
Slowed down play on multiple occasions and made a couple of defensive errors that could’ve been costly had Aberdeen been clinical.
Clinton Nsiala – 8
Played a lot like Calvin Bassey did in his heyday and while there were a few nervy moments, he’s slowly growing into the left centre-back role and also set up the second goal.
Jefte – 6
While he was tidy in possession, he could’ve done better in the final third to combine with the players around him.
Nicolas Raskin – 6
A quieter game compared to recent weeks but his leadership is crucial and he’s made a claim to be the full-time captain.
Mohamed Diomande – 4
Did not have the best of games as he struggled to control the tempo of the game and made some amateur errors.
Vaclav Cerny – 6
His touch was exemplary all game and he proved to be a constant thorn in the Dons side but made a few selfish decisions in the hunt to score for himself.
Danilo – 4
Could play only one half due to a shoulder injury but he failed to impact proceedings and even missed a big chance early on.
Ianis Hagi – 9
Created plenty of chances all game and was undoubtedly the biggest attacking threat all evening.
Hamza Igamane – 7
Scored the opener and looked a constant threat in front of goal as he gave the Dons defender a run for their money and could’ve scored a goal or two more.
Subs
Nedim Bajrami – 5
Was rather ineffective coming off the bench and that’s not what Clement would’ve envisaged.
Leon Balogun – 7
Impressed after coming off the bench as he was imperious in the air and had a few good chances before he finally found the back of the net.
James Tavernier – 4
Didn’t have too much time to impact proceedings in what was a late cameo.
Cyriel Dessers – 6
Scored with his first real chance of the game as he came off the bench late on to score the game’s third goal.
