Rangers host Ross County in the Scottish Premier League on Saturday, with the runaway league leaders looking to get back to winning ways.

Last weekend, Rangers dropped their first league points since September, when they drew 1-1 away against Motherwell.

Devante Cole opened the scoring in the first half, but Rangers managed to restore parity after the break thanks to a goal from Cedric Itten.

With Celtic having drawn each of their last three games, Rangers continue to remain in a strong position in the league. Steven Gerrard's side are 20 points ahead of their Glasgow rivals, having played two games more than them.

Ross County are 10th in the league at the moment, having managed to put together only 20 points in 24 games so far.

They pulled off a shock win in their last game, when they beat Aberdeen 4-1, to boost their position in the standings.
