Ross County delivered a body blow to Rangers’ Scottish Premiership title hopes with a stunning 3-2 victory, their first-ever win over the Ibrox side.
With six fixtures remaining, Philippe Clement’s side remain four points behind leaders Celtic with a game in hand – against Dundee at Dens Park on Wednesday night, live on Sky Sports.
When Staggies skipper Jack Baldwin scored an own goal after 15 minutes it already looked a long way back for the home side, but two goals in three minutes soon after the break from Simon Murray and George Harmon turned the game on its head before Josh Sims added a third after 69 minutes.
Gers skipper James Tavernier netted a penalty in the 89th minute following VAR intervention but the spirited home side held on for a momentous win which also boosts their bid to avoid relegation.
After 20 defeats and four draws in 24 games against Rangers, the Dingwall club had at last registered a long-awaited victory over the Govan club and its ramifications affect both ends of the table as second-bottom County moved to within a point of 10th-placed St Johnstone.
