Rangers will welcome Ross County to the Ibrox Stadium for a matchday 13 fixture in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday.

The hosts come into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Brondby in the Europa League on Thursday. Ianis Hagi scored a second-half equalizer after Leon Balogun's first-half own goal put the Danes ahead.
