Rangers beat Ross County 4-0 away from home last night.
Rangers produced a superb performance on Wednesday night, beating Ross County 4-0 away from home to keep pace with Celtic at the top of the table.
The Gers were unconvincing in their 2-1 home win over Motherwell on Sunday afternoon, and needed to turn in a much better display as they went on the road last night.
Steven Gerrard made changes to his side, and it was striker Alfredo Morelos who marked his return to the starting line-up with the opening goal, tapping in Sheyi Ojo’s cross.
Ryan Jack curled home the second, before the midfielder fired him a third just minutes before half time, handing Rangers an almost unassailable lead at the break.
Morelos added his second and Rangers’ fourth after half time, smashing home from Joe Aribo’s pass to secure a thumping win, staying level on points with Celtic.
A number of players turned in much better performances than they did on Sunday, and midfielder Aribo was one of them, as he was given more freedom to go forward and attack.
Fans criticised Aribo on Sunday for a below-par display, but playing in a midfield with Jack and Glen Kamara, Aribo was able to go forward more and impact the game in the final third.
Supporters were much happier this time, calling him ‘different class’, ‘outstanding’ and ‘excellent’, feeling the game became the Joe Aribo show despite Jack’s two goals.
Others felt he got back to his best having been deployed further forward by Gerrard, and praised him for his dribbling ability, which really came to the fore last night.
