Ross County come from behind to secure their first ever victory over Rangers and deliver a damaging blow to the visitors' Scottish Premiership title hopes.
Ross County came from behind to secure a historic first victory over Rangers and deliver a damaging blow to the visitors' Scottish Premiership title hopes.
Strikes on the rebound from Simon Murray and George Harmon turned the game on its head before Josh Sims' close-range finish left the visitors looking lost for ideas, despite James Tavernier's late penalty reply. Within seconds of kick-off, Michee Efete's cross to the back post found fellow wing-back Harmon racing into the six-yard box at the back post, but the Englishman could not find the net under pressure from Abdallah Sima.
The chances continued to flow after the break and, when Murray's first effort was blocked by the foot of Butland, the striker found the far corner with his second attempt. Rangers were handed a lifeline in the last minute when the ball struck Brandon Khela's hand. Despite Tavernier's 50th successful Premiership penalty, the Glasgow side could not make the most of eight minutes of stoppage time to deny County a first win in 25 meetings between the sides.
