    County are not finished yet and Don Cowie prods an effort at goal, but it is straight at goalkeeper Allan McGregor.

    Ross County can only stare agonisingly as it deflects and trundles into the net. Rangers' quality has not been great, but they get that bit of luck that gives them the opener

    GOAL Ross County 0-1 Rangerspublished at 77mins

    Ryan Kent

    Rangers' change of shape pays off immediately as Ryan Kent's drive from just outside the penalty box is deflected into the far corner.

    That's the former Liverpool winger's eighth goal of the season and how Rangers needed it.

  8. Jones for Kamarapublished at 76mins

    Rangers boss Steven Gerrard switches to a 4-4-2 formation by bringing on Jordan Jones, the former Kilmarnock winger who has been long out of favour, for central midfielder Glen Kamara.

    Ross County 0-0 Rangers

    Only one of Alfredo Morelos' 29 goals this season have come after the January winter break and the Colombian striker looks a shadow of his former self.

    Morelos was disciplined for returning late from compassionate leave last week and Rangers need him to come out of his shell here.

    I think Joe Aribo should score from that position, he doesn't get a clear header on it, but it was a great goal-line clearance nonetheless from Iain Vigurs

  11. CLOSE!published at 73mins

    Ross County 0-0 Rangers

    So close to an opener for Rangers.

    After Florian Kamberi has a shot deflected wide, Ryan Kent's corner is headed on by Joe Aribo, but Iain Vigurs stretches his neck at the back post to head off the line.

    Ross County 0-0 Rangers

    Rangers are looking like an ageing defending champion hanging on against the ropes.

    Instinct and the greater quality than the opposition is keeping them in the game, but their confidence looks shot and it is County who have a spring in their step at the moment.

    Ross County 0-0 Rangers

    County are continuing to knock on the door and, after the ball emerges from a sea of bodies looking to meet a corner, Rangers captain Connor Goldson hacks clear.

    Almost an embarrassing moment for Ross Laidlaw as the County goalkeeper looks to let the ball run out for a goal kick.

    But it hits the corner flag and he just manages to get a toe to the ball as Ryan Kent looks to charge towards the unguarded goal.

    Laidlaw then claims to be injured as Kent looks to take a quick corner with the goalkeeper down next to the flag.

  15. Kamberi for Hagipublished at 61mins

    Ross County 0-0 Rangers

    Steven Gerrard looks to change the game with his first substitution.

    The Rangers boss gives on-loan Hibs striker Florian Kamberi a chance to shine on his birthday and bringing off midfielder Ianis Hagi.

    Josh Mullin has got the legs on the Rangers defence, there's no doubt about that. He picks it up, goes past Connor Goldson and hits a really good left-footed strike that Allan McGregor needs to tip over

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 61mins

    Ross County 0-0 Rangers

    County are threatening to make Steven Gerrard's time at Ibrox even so miserable.

    Josh Mullin this time speeds past a few static Rangers bodies and fires a powerful drive from 15 yards that goalkeeper Allan McGregor does well to turn over the crossbar.

    They rob the ball so quickly that Matt Polster can't recover - he's high up the pitch. Josh Mullin goes past Rangers players as if they aren't there and rolls it to Ross Stewart. You expect him to hit the target, but the shot is tame. What a chance

    Great chance for County on the break, but returning forward Ross Stewart wastefully side-foots high and wide from just inside the penalty box.

    Definite booking. They get the foul, but the switch of play was on again. Both Ianis Hagi and Steven Davis were unable to see it. If Rangers want to get anything out of this game, they need to try and work it out wider. You can see Rangers are low on confidence and the decision-making is getting worse and worse
