Three Rangers stars and Steven Gerrard have received special recognition in the wake of a win over Livingston on Sunday.
Steven Gerrard was selected by BT Sport duo Darrell Currie and Chris Sutton as manager of their Team of the Week after masterminding the win in West Lothian.
Gary Holt’s team traditionally prove difficult to defeat at home for the bigger sides, with Rangers having lost there last season and Celtic being soundly beaten there last month.
Therefore, it was impressive that the Gers set up in a way which rendered the home side’s tactics ineffective.
Gerrard’s preparation doesn’t translate into results without strong performances from his players, though, and there were some strong individual displays on the day.
Connor Goldson makes it into the select XI after another excellent outing to back up his efforts against Porto on Thursday night. The centre-back helped to keep the dangerous Lyndon Dykes quiet, and distributed the ball well from the back.
In midfield, there’s a spot for a resurgent Glen Kamara. He’s looked much more like his old self this month and he was superb on the ball against Livi. Came close to scoring from a wonderful strike shortly before half time, and helped the Gers assert control in the midfield area.
Finally, the man who opened the scoring, Joe Aribo, also earned himself a spot. The Nigeria international grabbed his first goal in the Scottish Premiership with an emphatic finish after 32 minutes. He was lively up until being substituted in the closing stages, banishing memories of his last visit to the Tony Macaroni when he picked up an injury.
One other Ger who might feel aggrieved at missing out is Borna Barisic. On his 27th birthday, the Croatian made his 13th consecutive start for the club and excelled both defensively and in attack.
