Rangers are currently 21 points clear as they prepare to face Ross County this weekend
Rangers may have stumbled against Motherwell in their most recent outing, but Steven Gerrard’s men remain very much on course for the title.
Cedric Itten’s equaliser at Fir Park ensured Rangers remained unbeaten in 24 Premiership matches this season, leaving champions Celtic 21 points behind.
Although their first-half performance on Sunday may have been laborious, the league leaders have turned in numerous impressive displays over the course of the season.
They are next in action on Saturday when Ross County visit Ibrox, and new Staggies boss John Hughes has been fulsome in his praise for Gerrard’s side.
As quoted by Record Sport, the former Celtic defender said: “Rangers play football the way it should be played. They keep the ball, you don’t get a touch of it.
“I could sit here and wax lyrical about Rangers because their style of play is right up my street.
“Proper football; Everybody can look after the ball, full-backs scoring goals, guys coming off the bench and doing the business, plenty of rotation, pace, goals and that’s why where they are where they are.
“I have been to Ibrox many a time when you are right up against it. There is no getting away from it, they have better players than us.
“I use a great phrase; bulls and matadors. There is many a time I have been the bull and it is not nice getting a chasing. It might be like that on Saturday.
“Many a time I have coached a team when they have been matadors and it is a great feeling when you are looking after the ball and taking your time, taking the sting out of the opposition, moving to from side to side, looking for that opening.
“That’s what Rangers do. You can see they have been well-coached and they implement it.
“So we will be right up against it but it is one we are looking forward to. As a player it cannot faze you, it has to inspire you.
“You get to test yourself against the best and I hope the boys can do that, that their mindset is that we can give them a game.”
Hughes’ side currently sit 10th in the Premiership, and go into Saturday’s game on a high after their superb 4-1 win over Aberdeen.
The match is a 3pm kick-off.
