Despite trailing at halftime, Ross County rallied in the second half to claim a memorable victory.
Rangers took the lead in the first half through Jack Baldwin’s own goal, but Ross County showed resilience and determination to turn the game around. Simon Murray and George Harmon found the back of the net to give Ross County the lead, with Josh Sims adding a third goal to seal the victory. Although James Tavernier scored a late penalty for Rangers, it wasn’t enough to prevent Ross County from securing the win.
The result leaves Rangers four points adrift of league leaders Celtic, with their title hopes now in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Ross County’s victory provides a significant boost to their bid to avoid relegation, narrowing the gap with St Johnstone to just one point.
Ross County’s performance showcased their fighting spirit and determination, with manager Don Cowie praising the team’s effort and character. The win marks a significant milestone for the club and highlights their potential to compete against top opposition in the Scottish Premiership.

With crucial fixtures ahead, including a Scottish Cup semi-final against Heart of Midlothian, Rangers will need to regroup quickly to maintain their hopes of silverware this season.
