Rangers 'host' Ross County at Hampden Park in a Scottish Premiership matchday three fixture on Saturday (August 24th). The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 2-0 home win over St. Johnstone in the Scottish League Cup round-of-16.
Nigeria international Cyriel Dessiers stepped off the bench to break the deadlock in the 61st minute. Ross McCausland made sure of the result in injury time to help their side book a last-eight tie with Dundee FC.
The Gers will turn their focus to the league where their last game saw them claim a 2-1 home win over Motherwell.
Ross County, meanwhile, were eliminated from the League Cup by Scottish League Two side Spartans with a 1-0 away defeat. Blair Henderson's 46th-minute strike helped his side advance to the quarterfinal. Ross's last league game came in a 1-1 draw at home to Dundee United.
The stalemate left The Staggies in eighth spot in the table, having garnered two points from as many games. Rangers are fourth on four points.

Ross County have drawn their two league games but were embarrassingly dumped out of the League Cup by fourth-division opponents.
