While the above two players stood out, several Bears emerged from the game with plenty of credit.

One of those was Glen Kamara, who once again pulled the strings in midfield for the Ibrox outfit.

The Rangers midfielder, alongside Joe Aribo, helped the Light Blues dominate in the middle of the park.

Kamara was in a deep-lying role and moved possession quickly for his more forward-thinking teammates.

The 25-year-old got forward on occasion and almost won a penalty at one point.

Kamara’s stats () make for some impressive reading.

He took 115 touches of the ball and made 108 passes, including two key passes.

Kamara’s passing accuracy from the game was nothing short of staggering – 98.2 percent.

He also made two successful dribbles, two tackles and one interception.

Kamara has always been superb for Rangers and he continues to be consistent.

Players like him will be crucial to Van Bronckhorst lifting silverware as Rangers manager.

With the January transfer window coming up, the Gers need to pull out all the stops to retain Kamara.
