Rangers went back to the top of the Scottish Premiership this afternoon as they beat Ross County 2-0 at Ibrox.

Celtic won today as they grabbed a late 2-0 win over St Johnstone, with both goals coming in the final stages of the game.

Rangers responded by picking up a 2-0 win of their own, with James Tavernier once again scoring, bagging a first-half penalty.

Rangers toiled away looking for a second goal, but couldn’t find it until substitute Brandon Barker scored in the 88th minute.

It’s another clean sheet and another win for Rangers, and whilst it wasn’t pretty at times, the three points is all that matters.

Barker made an impression off the bench, as both he and Jordan Jones attempt to re-establish themselves in the Rangers setup.

They’re seemingly taking it in turns to shine after poor campaigns last season, and fans took to Twitter to praise Barker for his display.

Some called him an ‘impact man’ and praised him for ‘producing when we really needed it’, adding that he was Rangers’ most direct player and should be playing over Jones.
