Ryan Jack looks revitalised: 

The midfielder was impressive as he snapped into tackles, used the ball well and dominated the middle of the park for Rangers.

Gave a wonderful snapshot of his capabilities in the first-half as he played a lovely ball in behind Borna Barisic to set Alfredo Morelos on his way, before winning the ball back moments later with a crunching challenge on the other side of the pitch.

Allan McGregor will be a key player: 

If anyone doubted the value of bringing the 36-year-old back to Ibrox in the summer, and there can’t have been many, then they only had to witness his performance against Osijek to be convinced of the merits behind it.

The Scotland keeper was vocal, commanding and showed that he still has his full range of reflexes with a stunning double-save in the first half.

Little he could do with late Osijek goal, but tried valiantly to keep it out nonetheless.

Ovie Ejaria is still finding his feet:

On early showings, the on-loan Liverpool midfielder looks like he has the capacity to delight and frustrate the Rangers support in equal measure this term.

His rather ungainly style isn’t always the prettiest on the eye, and not everything he tries comes off, but showed enough to suggest that there may well be a player in there once he gets used to his new surroundings and competing at this level.

Provided some head-scratching moments, and decision-making is questionable. Clearly a work in progress, but lovely move in second-half that led to a curling shot hinted at better to come.

The Rangers defence won’t be a pushover:

There are moments when it is clear that the Rangers backline is still finding its feet, but the contrast to the soft-centred Ibrox rearguard of last season is stark.

They may have fell a minute or two short of their sixth clean sheet out of six, but Connor Goldson and Niko Katic showed they have the makings of a promising partnership. They were competitive in the air and on the deck, and threw their bodies on the line when they had to.

Will be a little bit disappointed that nobody got close to Barisic to close down the shot for the goal, but another encouraging defensive display.

Rangers will provide a set-piece threat, but have to create more from open play:

Niko Katic’s goal, just like his goal on Sunday against Wigan, came from a set-piece, and Rangers arguably should have converted at least another two on the night, particularly late on when Scott Arfield missed a free header in front of goal.

They can’t rely solely on scoring from dead ball situations though, and while they did fashion some opportunities from open play, all too often their final ball let them down. Steven Gerrard will hope, and perhaps quite rightly expect, that the more his players get to know each other and gel as a unit, then the greater success they will have from those situations.
