However, they were unable to put the game to bed and Kaiyne Woolery’s 66th-minute equaliser rescued a point for the visitors.

Gerrard bemoaned Rangers’ woes in the final third but heaped plaudits on Aribo for his overall display in the game.

“I thought Joe Aribo, Glen Kamara and Steven Davis, a lot of players, from box to box today we played some incredible stuff,” he said [RangersTV].

“Our preparation to build the attacks was up there with the best we have but when you get past the box you need someone to find those moments of quality to create goals and assist goals and then to go and score them.

“That, to me, today, was a 3 or 4-0 game. When you don’t get the second goal you leave yourself vulnerable at the back and we haven’t defended one situation well in the second half and we’ve paid for that.”
