Steve Thompson predicts Rangers v Ross County
By Harvey Byrne
Steve Thompson has predicted Rangers to beat Ross County on Sunday afternoon with a tight 2-1 victory.
Mark Warburton’s side will travel to McDiarmid Park on Sunday, where they will face a club who are currently second from bottom with just one point separating them from 12th placed Dundee.
Meanwhile Rangers are second in the league, although they face a much bigger nine-point gap from fierce rivals Celtic, whoa re perched above them.
Thomspon, who played for Rangers and Scotland during his football career, predicted a win for his former club, highlighting their opponents recent poor form.
“Ross County 1-2 Rangers,” started Thompson on the BBC Sport website. “No win in nine games for Ross County, losing eight in their last two games. Rangers rejuvenated after a brilliant performance last weekend, they’ll want to stay in second place.”
