View: 8/10 on form, 4/10 wasteful - Rangers player ratings vs Dundee United

Rangers secured a 4-2 victory at home to Dundee United on Saturday.

The Light Blues started the game with a distinct lack of intensity, but took the lead through Ryan Naderi, who, quite frankly, couldn’t miss.

Thelo Aasgaard’s effort was fumbled by Ashley Maynard-Brewer, leaving Naderi with a tap-in at the far post to give the Gers the lead, with Dujon Sterling doubling Rangers’ advantage towards the latter stages of the first half.

Dundee United pulled one back on the stroke of half-time, with Amar Fatah finishing below Jack Butland and into the far corner, after Rangers had claims for a foul on Mikey Moore dismissed.

Danny Rohl made changes at the break, and Djeidi Gassama made his mark within minutes, getting the assist after Aasgaard restored Rangers’ two-goal lead, not that it would last too long, with Zachary Sapsford setting Ibrox up for a nervy finish.

Those nerves were subdued just as quickly as they appeared, with Bojan Miovski finding the net to make it 4-2 to the Gers with minutes to play.

It’s another win for Rohl at Ibrox, and one that will greatly increase Rangers’ title hopes.

Mikey Moore offers plenty but gets nothing to show for it

Moore has very quickly grown into an influential player at Ibrox, and despite a rather tame performance from the team in general, he was offering everything that we have become accustomed to.

The 18-year-old was direct when in possession and posed a constant threat to the Dundee United defence.

Moore completed five of his seven attempted dribbles in the game, while also creating three chances, with one of those deemed as a big chance.

With eight of his 13 duels resulting in him winning the ball, the teen also offered plenty defensively, which has become a welcome theme of his game.

Andreas Skov Olsen has so much more to come

Andreas Skov Olsen got the assist for Sterling’s goal, but his involvement beyond that was minimal, hence his half-time withdrawal.

He was guilty of overplaying at times, with very few of the attacks that came from his side resulting in anything of note.

Skov Olsen failed to complete any of his three attempted crosses, lost all three of his ground duels, and was dispossessed three times in the first half, which was more than anyone on the pitch.

It’s clear that he has the quality to make an impact, but on this occasion, it was missing from his game.
