Rangers

Ross County host Rangers on Friday night in the clubs' final pre-Christmas fixture which will be played in front of the Sky Sports cameras.

County didn’t trouble the home goal with no shots on target. John Lundstram and Steven Davies were on the score sheet, as was Antonio Colak with a double. The Staggies find themselves tenth in the Premiership and lost last time out against St Johnstone.

John Lundstram's first-half strike gave Rangers a 1-0 Scottish Premiership win over Ross County but it was a far from sparkling performance from Michael ...

However, a moment of quality from Lundstram broke the deadlock and ultimately proved decisive. Jack and Rabbi Matondo took over from Arfield and Malik Tillman, and Rangers continued to dominate possession but a second goal did not appear imminent. Jordan Tillson’s looping cross from the right to the back post found George Harmon but his header from four yards was blocked by the quick reactions of McLaughlin. It is the end of a long week, two long travels and we’re just delighted to get down the road with three points. “The actual approach play to get there I was pleased with. I think, importantly for the group, it is the clean sheet.

Ross County 0-1 Rangers: John Lundstram's first half strike gives Gers all three points as they record third win in a row under Michael Beale and move six ...

Enjoying an increased share of territory since the break, it was now about Rangers finding a second goal to capitalise. Five minutes later, Beale summoned Morelos to take his place and provide a different focal point to the attack. From his first sight of goal, the Colombian choked a shot off target. It looked simpler for substitute Rabbi Matondo when he sped clean through in the closing minutes. The Liverpudlian’s low-key celebration was as composed as his finish. Referee Don Robertson didn’t spot Ryan Kent jumping out of the way the ball and blanked Tillman’s demands for a corner. Jordan Tillson seized on the loose ball and immediately delivered for George Harmon at the far post. His attempted finish was straight at Laidlaw, who made a solid save. After a mixed opening period enlivened by John Lundstram’s excellent and ultimately decisive goal, Rangers exerted a greater degree control after the break. This time, Davies defended dismally, being outmuscled by Owura Edwards as the on-loan winger hared into the area. The 19-year-old picked out Malik Tillman for a poked attempt that deflected wide off Alex Iacovitti. Once again, though, those under his command delivered the right result.

ALL Michael Beale wanted for Christmas after back-to-back five goal thrillers against Hibernian and Aberdeen was a nice uneventful cinch Premiership…

The ex-Sheffield United man was given acres of space and loads of time to get his shot away by the County defence. Bagging his fifth goal of the 2022/23 campaign will have given him a much-needed lift. But that aside he failed to make a significant impact. The kid was one of Rangers’ brightest performers. The score had been 1-1 at half-time. The former

The Scouser netted the only goal of the game in the Highlands as his first half strike proved the difference and earned Rangers a valuable away win. Beale made ...

I think tonight was probably the most you have seen us, the best flow of what he has been asking from us, especially keeping the ball in their half and sustaining attacks. Again we defended well the last ten minutes when they threw the kitchen sink at us. But three wins, you can’t really ask for much more, and a clean sheet tonight was pleasing

Beale doesn't believe it's an area that needs urgent attention but Boyd reckons it's overdue.

You look at the situation in the summer with the recruitment, it's something that should have been done there as well. But you would have thought there would have been someone else to come in if that was the case, but the club decided not to do it." I know Michael Beale has said that it's not an area that he needs to worry about at this moment in time. [Rangers](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/rangers-fc) don't have to worry about the goalkeeping situation and insists it should have been addressed LAST summer. Jon Mclaughlin is 35 as well and you've got Robby McCrorie there, who is getting to the stage now where he needs to be playing football. Allan McGregor plays and all the fans seem to want Jon McLaughlin in.

MICHAEL BEALE has named four changes to his side for this evening's Scottish Premiership match against Ross County.

On the bench are Robby McCrorie, Ryan Jack, Rabbi Matondo, James Sands, Alfredo Morelos, Scott Wright, Charlie McCann, Leon King and Alex Lowry. Subs: McCrorie, Jack, Matondo, Sands, Morelos, Wright, McCann, King, Lowry. Glen Kamara keeps his place in midfield and is joined there by John Lundstram, with Scott Arfield also coming into the starting team this evening with Fashion Jr, Ryan Kent and Malik Tillman completing the line-up in Dingwall. James Sands, Ryan Jack and Alfredo Morelos are on the bench, with Allan McGregor not in the matchday squad this evening. That means Rangers line-up in Dingwall with McLaughlin in goal and a back four of James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, Ben Davies and Adam Devine. From the team which beat Aberdeen 3-2 Pittodrie on Tuesday, Jon McLaughlin, Ben Davies, John Lundstram and Scott Arfield come into the starting line-up.

RANGERS boss Michael Beale believes more is to come from youngster Adam Devine and warned his CAPTAIN his place could be under threat.Devine has been.

The visitors had the chance to settle it in added time only for Laidlaw to thwart Matondo in a one-on-one battle but the points remained Ibrox-bound. It was all a bit of a struggle for the Govan side before a moment of quality from Lundstram broke the deadlock. County, with Connor Randall, captain Keith Watson and David Cancola back in the side – Jack Baldwin was suspended following his weekend red card against St Johnstone – worked hard to stifle the visitors from the start.

Rangers boss Michael Beale has admitted Rabbi Matondo is “struggling for confidence” but has backed the winger to come good.

"He's our player, we trust him, we bought him for a reason and we will help him out the other side of it. "He's an international, played in the Bundesliga, played in the Belgian league, he's here for a reason. “He's a young boy,” the Rangers boss said.

I’m not saying Rangers are superior at the moment but the facts about Michael Beale’s first three games compared to the so-called Angeball are stark.” Andrew Lamb, Fraserburgh, said: "Given the amount of Injuries Michael Beale has had to deal with, and a squad that are in many cases walking wounded, then Beale should really be judged next season. John Steel said: “Michael Beale should come out and tell the fans he's been promised transfer money but he said he might not need new players because the ones he has could be good enough. If Michael Beale thinks we can wait until the summer for signing decent players then he and the Rangers board have already conceded the league to [Celtic](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/celtic-fc) and that is utterly shameful. Others might argue that the gap to leaders and rivals And some on the Hotline want to see more urgency from the former QPR gaffer in the transfer market after he said he will wait and assess what he’s got rather than rush into make signings in the January window.
