Rangers vs Ross County predicted line-up as Matondo in line for start
After a thrilling night of European football on Tuesday, Rangers return to their travels in domestic action with a lunchtime match against Ross County.
Trips to Dingwall have never been easy in recent seasons, with the 3-3 draw under Van Bronckhorst in January 2022 springing to mind, but Michael Beale’s side won in their last visit back in December and will look to continue their momentum in the league following the 4-0 win over Livingston a fortnight ago.
With the return fixture with PSV on the horizon, plus the first Old Firm of the season in a week’s time, Beale may be tempted into making a couple of changes with the big games in mind, with Rabbi Matondo seriously challenging for a start after a recent uptick in form, whilst the likes of John Lundstram, Danilo and Sam Lammers hoping for minutes from the off as well.
