Ross County 0-2 Rangers
County nick the ball and Connor Randall slips in Josh Sims.
But the County striker is denied by a super stop from Jack Butland.
Somehow a goal kick is awarded. Mad.

The resulting corner drops on Cyriel Dessers' heid, but he can't keep it down.
Ross County 0-2 Rangers
Just like he did on Tuesday, Rabbi Matondo has brought Rangers to life.
He skips off the left and drills one high to the far corner, but Ross Laidlaw parries over.

Rabbi Matondo then breaks on to the ball on the left of the box and his ball across the face of goal is spot on.
But who's there? No-one.
Ross County 0-2 Rangers
County clear a Rangers corner and Rabbi Matondo shows frightening recovery pace to clean up.
That lad is rapid.

It has been a mixed bag this season for Rangers.
But knowing it is a massive week and maybe realising that, they are beginning to find their feet and they have been a good watch today.
They have to be careful, though, as it only takes one goal to change that.

Michael Beale turns to his bench now.
It's attacking duo Rabbi Matondo and Abdallah Sima who enter, with Kemar Roofe and Sam Lammers making way.

Josh Sims races down the left all too easily but his pass across goal is cut out well by John Souttar.

Again County come forward but Simon Murray's pass to Yan Dhanda is cut out by the Rangers defence.
Ross County 0-2 Rangers
County are going at it here but they'll leave themselves exposed if they don't find a goal.
Could be a tasty second half.
Ross County 0-2 Rangers
County have started this half well as they get a corner.
Rangers clear, but there's far more intensity in the hosts' play.

John Robertson
Ex-Hearts striker & manager on BBC Sportsound
That's the big chance.
Jordan White's got an incredibly good goalscoring record against Rangers. He just has to hit the target.
Ross County 0-2 Rangers
Ah, Jordan White. You just have to score there.
The County striker gets a yard and nods Yan Dhanda's cross wide.
But he absolutely has to hit the target.

It won't be games like this that define Ross County's season.
The next goal is vitally important. For the first 10-15 minutes they matched Rangers, but they have not reached their level.
They are not out the game. It only takes one goal to change the game.
