The Sunday lunchtime clash in the Scottish Premiership sees Mark Warburton’s side head to Dingwall.
Rangers manager Mark Warburton
Since a last gasp defeat at Aberdeen in September, Rangers have improved in the Scottish Premiership and sit in second going into the weekend’s fixtures.
Last weekend’s 3-0 win over Kilmarnock at Ibrox extended their unbeaten league run to four games, and Joey Barton’s return to training means they can try to move on from the off-field problems that have plagued their return to Scotland’s top flight.

Hosts Ross County have gone nine games without a win and lie just one point and one place off the bottom of the table – they will go into this fixture propping up the rest if Dundee avoid defeat against Motherwell on Saturday.
The Key Battle – Andrew Davies vs Joe Garner
Davies has been a regular in Ross County’s defence since arriving in 2015, and looks to have finally settled after a nomadic career in England.
The 31-year-old comes up against another man who has recently moved north of the border; former Preston star Garner made a slow start to his career at Ibrox but has scored in each of his past two games.

Last Meeting:
The only league meeting between these two sides came in mid-September.
It was an historic occasion for Ross County, who took a point back to the Highlands after securing a hard-fought goalless draw.
