Rangers will be on the road this weekend as they face Ross Countyin the Scottish Premiership at the Global Energy Stadium. Last season's Scottish league runners-up started their 2023-24 season with a defeat against Kilmarnock but they have since gone on an unbeaten run that has now lasted five fixtures.
The hosts, on the other hand, had a difficult season opener against defending champions Celtic. But since their defeat in the first game, they have managed to win their second league game against St. Johnstone and a League Cup fixture against Airdrieonians. However, it will still be a huge task to overcome Rangers' challenge this weekend.
