Rangers delivered a commanding performance with a 6-0 victory over Ross County, propelling them to the top of the Scottish Premiership. Cyriel Dessers and Rabbi Matondo both netted twice, with Tom Lawrence and Danilo also finding the back of the net, as Rangers showcased their best form of the season under manager Philippe Clement.
Dessers opened the scoring in the 18th minute, continuing his strong start to the season with five goals in six games. Matondo, who has been linked with a move away before the transfer window closes, made a strong case to stay by scoring twice and providing two assists. He effectively ended the contest by converting a James Tavernier cross just before halftime.
Rangers didn’t let up in the second half, with Dessers and Matondo adding to their tallies, while Lawrence scored another to further extend the lead. Substitute Danilo, returning from a lengthy knee injury, capped off the rout with his first goal since November.
This dominant win places Rangers one point ahead of Celtic, who have the chance to reclaim the top spot when they face St. Mirren on Sunday. Clement praised his team’s development, noting that the players are beginning to gel and execute the style of football he has been instilling.
Elsewhere, Hibernian manager David Gray is still searching for his first league win after a 2-2 draw with Dundee United, while Dundee United continued their unbeaten run with a 2-0 victory over 10-man St. Johnstone.
