Lacklustre Gers are feeling Stag blue as County make history and deliver huge title blow to Ibrox side
A TRIP UP NORTH

ROSS COUNTY made their own piece of history and blew a massive hole in Rangers' title dream in the process.

Goals from Simon Murray, George Harmon and Josh Sims fired the Staggies to their first-ever victory over the Light Blues.

It came at the 25th attempt as interim boss Don Cowie led the Highlanders to this famous win.

It was a big result in its own right but could become even bigger in terms of their fight to get out of the relegation play-off place.

County are now just one point away from third-bottom St Johnstone.

As for Rangers, they are left counting the cost of a sleepy Sunday.

They have blown their advantage in the title race and given the initiative back to Celtic.

Philippe Clement's side are now four points behind their rivals and Wednesday's controversial rearranged match with Dundee falls into the must-win category.

This is a game Rangers would have been expecting to win but an early second-half collapse saw their trip to Dingwall turn into a disaster.

Clement has come back from much further behind when he first came in.

Now, though, the pressure is on and the likelihood is they'll now need to win their remaining games, including the final derby trip to Celtic Park.

This trip to the Highlands is one they could look back on with some regret. The Ibrox men were sloppy from back to front all day.

That is not taking anything away from Ross County, who to a man stood up and delivered.
