[FT] Ross County 1 - 3 Rangers (Morelos 31, 41; Herrera 89)


Recommended Posts

Manager Jim McIntyre says his Ross County players should take belief from their performances against Rangers last season when the teams meet in Dingwall.

 

County were unbeaten in all three games against the Ibrox side last term, and hope to take advantage of the pressure on Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha.

 

"It will be tough. They will be coming looking for the win," McIntyre said."But if we produce a performance of a high level, we are more than capable of getting a good result."

 

County won their opening Premiership game of the season against Dundee, but have since lost to Aberdeen and Motherwell ahead of Sunday's visit of Rangers

 

Caixinha is under increasing scrutiny after his side dropped five points in two consecutive home games, losing to Hibernian and then drawing with Hearts.

 

McIntyre does not believe that Rangers' recent results will influence the game, though, since players and managers are used to operating under pressure.

"If you are the Rangers manager or the Celtic manager you are constantly under pressure," he said."If you are the Ross County manager you are constantly under pressure.

 

That is the world we live in. We work in an industry where there is pressure to get results. It's all about winning."Every game is important.

Our performance at Motherwell was excellent but we were punished for the mistakes we made.

 

"But it's a great game for us to bounce back with. We'll have a full house here in Dingwall, it's live on the television and these are the games you want to be involved in."

One change = Niko for Windass

 

--

 

RANGERS boast just the one change for this afternoon’s clash with Ross County in the Highlands, with Niko Kranjcar replacing the injured Josh Windass.

 

Windass was injured in last week’s draw with Hearts at Ibrox, and isn’t fit enough to take his place in the squad for today’s match at the Global Energy Stadium.

 

That means it’s the same back five of Wes Foderingham in goals and James Tavernier, Fabio Cardoso, Bruno Alves and Lee Wallace in front of the stopper.

 

In midfield, Ryan Jack and Graham Dorrans continue their partnership with Daniel Candeias on the right and Kranjcar on the left. Kenny Miller partners Alfredo Morelos in the forward position.

 

On the bench are sub goalkeeper Jak Alnwick, Danny Wilson, Lee Hodson, Jordan Rossiter, Dalcio, fit-again Eduardo Herrera and Carlos Pena.

 

It’s a 3pm kick-off here in Dingwall this afternoon, and if you live outside the UK and Ireland, you can watch the full game live on RangersTV.tv. Join Tom Miller and Hugh Burns for full coverage.

 

RANGERS: Foderingham; Tavernier, Cardoso, Alves, Wallace; Candeias, Jack, Dorrans, Kranjcar; Miller, Morelos.

 

SUBS: Alnwick, Hodson, Wallace, Rossiter, Dalcio, Herrera, Pena.

Starting with Miller will cost PC his job.

 

Looks like for whatever reason he is scared to drop him. He is 38 and not up to the pace this season. A season too far and he should be used as an impact player.

However let's hope we get it together today and get three points!

Rangers odds on again at 1.57 with Ladbrokes. The bookies give nothing away do they. I hope they are right this time though.

 

This is a no win situation for us today. If we spank Ross County 7-0, it's only Ross County and we have still proven nothing. If we draw or lose, well, you know the drill....
