November 07, (THEWILL) –Â Rangers beat Ross County 4-2, maintaining their four-point advantage at the top of the Scottish Premiership standings heading into the international break.
The Staggies gave Steven Gerrard’s side a scare when Joseph Hungbo opened the scoring. Rangers, on the other hand, quickly took command.
With a header, Nigeria international Joe Aribo levelled the score, and Ryan Kent’s incredible goal on his first start since returning from injury put the Ibrox club in command.
Juninho Bacuna sealed the victory, while Alex Iacovitti added insult to injury for Ross County, who got a late consolation goal from Jordan White.
In the second half, Rangers received further good news when Ryan Jack made his long-awaited return from injury.
When the two teams met earlier this season in the Highlands, Gerrard’s side prevailed 4-2 and the same result was repeated in Glasgow. Rangers were coming off a 1-1 draw in a tough away Europa League fixture against Brondby in Denmark.
Rangers had a scorching domestic display before that trip, thrashing Motherwell 6-1, but they have now conceded first in four consecutive domestic matches. Gerrard is keen to stop the habit, but they did more than enough to go ahead of the break.
