Rangers could move top of the Scottish Premiership for the first time in more than two years when they host Ross County at Ibrox on Wednesday night.

Not since January 2022, when Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side relinquished top spot in the table, have Rangers enjoyed the view from the top of the standings with Celtic having gone on to lift back-to-back titles before opening up an eight-point gap in the first half of the current campaign.

That advantage has been eroded with Rangers now sitting just three points behind their rivals with a game in hand – which they will fulfil when they take on a Dingwall side preparing for their first match under interim manager Don Cowie following the departure of Derek Adams last week.

Adams stepped down after winning just two of his 12 games in charge having criticised both the standard of Scottish football and the squad he inherited, while hinting that he regretted his decision to quit Morecombe to return for a third spell in charge of County.

The Highlanders are in desperate need of points to ease their relegation worries but will find it tough against a Rangers side who know that they will leapfrog Celtic at the summit if they win the match by three goals or more.
