Joe Wildsmith, 7: Owls goalkeeper had nothing to do all afternoon. Easiest 90 minutes of the season.

Dominic Iorfa, 7: Put Wednesday in front with a composed finish after just five minutes.

Tom Lees, 7: Welcome return for the Owls captain after a spell on the sidelines injured. Looked assured in the heart of defence.

Julian Borner, 7: German centre-half disciplined at the back, kept Rangers’ forwards quiet all afternoon.

Moses Odubajo, 7: Wing-back is his best position, so good to see him given the chance here. Excellent going forward.

Alex Hunt, 7: Did not let anyone down on his first start for the Owls, played simple balls in midfield, and looks a real prospect.

Barry Bannan, 8: Bossed the centre of midfield, and delivered an excellent pass to set Jacob Murphy free for the third goal.

Massimo Luongo, 7: The midfielder came close to a goal on his return to Rangers, but was denied by the woodwork.

Josh Windass, 8: Excellent afternoon for the forward, scored his third goal for the Owls, but could have bagged a double hat-trick, the amount of chances he had.

Alessio Da Cruz, 7: Proved a willing runner for Windass, and the duo did enough to deserve another chance to work on their strike partnership.

Substitutes: Jacob Murphy (Da Cruz 55), 7: Bagged the Owls’ third goal and looked at home in a more central position.
