With six fixtures remaining, Philippe Clement’s side are four points behind the leaue leaders.

ROSS COUNTY delivered a body blow to Rangers ’ cinch Premiership title hopes in Dingwall with their first-ever win over the Ibrox side.

After 20 defeats and four draws in 24 games against Rangers, the Dingwall club had at last registered a long-awaited win over the Govan club and its ramifications affected both ends of the table as second-bottom County moved to within a point of 10th-placed St Johnstone. Ross Laidlaw, Yan Dhanda, Sims, Victor Loturi and Harmon were restored to Don Cowie’s side who started the game nine points ahead of bottom side Livingston.

Portuguese attacker Silva headed on and in his attempt to clear while facing his own net and challenging Gers defender John Souttar, Baldwin succeeded only in knocking the ball over the line as Laidlaw failed to keep it out although it took a while before the goal registered with the travelling fans at the other end of the ground.

Rangers struggled to get into their rhythm but they were gifted the lead following Tavernier’s corner from the right.
