The 24-year-old netted the Well’s opener in just the ninth minute, getting the better of Jack Butland with one of three shots, and won five aerial duels on his way to a rating of 7.88.

Remaining at Ibrox, Blair Spittal was influential in Motherwell’s win as evidenced by a WhoScored.com rating of 7.99. Spittal provided the assist, his ninth of the season, for Dan Casey’s winning goal in Glasgow, that coming from one of six key passes. The 28-year-old also made two clearances and one tackle in a solid display at Rangers.
3. James Tavernier (Rangers) – 7.99 rating

While he couldn’t help Rangers to victory, James Tavernier did all he could to haul the Gers over the line on Saturday. Tavernier netted Rangers’ equaliser on the hour mark against Motherwell, getting the better of Liam Kelly with one of three shots, and was unfortunate not to add an assist having created six goalscoring opportunities as the Gers skipper, like Spittal, earned a rating of 7.99.
2. Lawrence Shankland (Hearts) – 8.02 rating

Just as Rangers dropped points over the weekend, so too did fierce rivals Celtic as the title challenging pair both suffered rare defeats in the same week. Lawrence Shankland scored the goal that put the result beyond doubt in the capital, netting his 20th goal of the campaign with one of six shots.
1. Zander Clark (Hearts) – 8.97 rating
