A couple of players deserve a special mention for their efforts against Morton. McDonald produced another class display despite the ‘devastation' he suffered at having a move to Ibrox rejected.

Mark Reynolds looked cool, calm and collected as he and his fellow centre defender took care of the energetic attentions of the Morton attack.
