Centre-half Connor Goldson, who has had his own misfortunes in defence recently, will captain Rangers today in the absence of the injured James Tavernier, who has been criticised for remarks suggesting his side find it difficult to handle being put under pressure.

County are now only three points ahead of St Mirren, who sit second bottom of the Premiership in the relegation play-off place.

However, despite their poor recent form, BBC Scotland's Stefan Bienkowski suggests their recent record against the other bottom-six sides could save them from the drop.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard believes his side will get back to winning ways in Dingwall.

"We need to get back on track as quick as possible," he tells Rangers TV. "There's a lot of hurt and pain as you can imagine at the moment and we feel that for our supporters as well.

"We need to get them back feeling good and smiling as quick as possible and Ross County's the first game we can do that and hopefully we can provide that performance for them.

"It will be a challenge up there for us - the are probably hurting themselves on the back of a 4-1 defeat to Motherwell, but our focus is on us and I'm sure we'll be ready when kick-off comes."

As mentioned earlier, two sides suffering a downturn in results meet in Dingwall today.

County have only won twice in 13 outings - and only one of their last four at home.

Rangers have now only won once in four outings - albeit that was a fine 1-0 success away to Braga in the Europa League.

Indeed, Steven Gerrard's side have lost three of their five domestic away games since beating champions Celtic at the end of December.

Former Liverpool winger Ryan Kent returns to Rangers' starting line-up in Dingwall, with striker Florian Kamberi dropping to the bench.

The other change in Steven Gerrard's side is forced, with captain James Tavernier missing through injury and his place taken by United States right-back Matt Polster.

Veteran former England striker Jermain Defoe, who had made two substitute appearances since coming back from injury, does not even make the bench.

Rangers' fortunes dominate the Sunday newspaper headlines - even down to Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths pleading to be given a start in next weekend's Old Firm derby after yesterday's hat-trick against St Mirren.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on "£22m-rated" Rangers left-back Borna Barisic, it is suggested the Ibrox club will accept a cut-price £4m bid for captain and right-back James Tavernier and manager Steven Gerrard has been moved to insist he has the backing of chairman Dave King and his board.

It's been a difficult week for Rangers and manager Steven Gerrard.

They head to Dingwall today on the back of successive defeats by Hearts and Hamilton Academical - and find themselves 16 points behind Celtic after the Scottish Premiership leaders thumped St Mirren yesterday.

Hosts Ross County, meanwhile, are nervously looking over their shoulders in case they are dragged into the relegation battle after their own run of poor form.
