Rangers 6-0 Ross County: Analysis

Never in their history have Ross County beaten Rangers away from home, so defeat at Hampden will not define their season.

The manner in which they lost could, though, especially with it coming in the week after a shock League Cup exit to fourth-tier Spartans.

Don Cowie's side were exposed massively whenever the ball turned over, leaving huge gaps in midfield.

And when they retreated and went into damage-limitation mode, it was not much better.

Ronan Hale's performance perhaps provides a crumb of optimism. The striker, who has four goals this term, is a livewire at the top end of the pitch and looks dangerous when given service.
