Rangers player ratings as Borna Barisic gives up the ghost while Liverpool tear Ibrox defence apart

It was an evening to forget at Ibrox as Liverpool's impressive second half performance helped them thump Rangers by seven goals to one.

Scott Arfield got Ibrox rocking as he put Gio van Bronckhorst' s men in front after 17 minutes of play. But it took the Reds just seven minutes to hit back when Roberto Firmino's header evened the scoring. It was all even at the break, with the home side hopeful ahead of the second 45.

It was certainly not to be however, with the ball making its way into Allan McGregor 's next six times in the second half to force Rangers into their biggest ever competitive defeat. It was Firmino who stepped up again to net a second, with Darwin Nunez also on the scoresheet alongside Harvey Elliot, who hit home for the first time in the Champions League. Mo Salah ripped through the Rangers defence to bag a hat-trick is just over six minutes Nothing short of incredible, making it a difficult night for the Govan side.

Here's the Record Sport verdict on how the men in light blue performed on a testing European night in Glasgow.

ALLAN MCGREGOR: This time he hardly made a single save. But there wasn’t a great deal he could have done about any of them as his defence was torn apart. 4

JAMES TAVERNIER: Had some sloppy moments in possession but his sharp tackle helped set up the opener for Arfield. Posted missing as Liverpool ran riot after the break. 5

CONNOR GOLDSON: The big man did not put a foot wrong until his left thigh gave up on him at the end of the first half. Had been dealing superbly with Nunez. No surprise Rangers fell apart without him. 8

BEN DAVIES: Had a superb first half. Calm and composed on the ball, Alert and tidy in defence. But completely swamped by Liverpool in the second half.
