The Light Blues ran out comfortable winners in Dingwall ahead of their major European bow.
Rangers gave themselves a shot of Dutch courage as they warmed up for Wednesday’s Champions League shoot-out against PSV with a deserved 2-0 Dingwall victory. Kemar Roofe was back in for his first start since April 2022 and made the most of the opportunity as he bagged the opener before a stunning James Tavernier strike made sure of the points.
Dessers and Sam Lammers had further headed chances as they continued to bombard the box with crosses. And the aerial route finally paved the way to the opener as Roofe marked his return to starting duties with a 21st-minute goal. Tavernier forced the corner but it was Borna Barisic’s deep back-post delivery that found Roofe in a wrestling match with James Brown.
The hour mark brought the introduction of Gers’ midweek goal heroes as Sima and Rabbi Matondo were introduced. In the time since that April 2022 Scottish Cup semi-final win over Celtic the 30-year-old’s involvement has been nothing more than fleeting, totalling a mere eight appearances. But his 59-minute run-out will enthuse boss Beale, even if he’ll have to do without the frontman for Wednesday having left Roofe out of his Champions League play-off squad.Rangers ready and raring While Dutch league chiefs did their bit to boost PSV’s group stage bid, Scottish football’s crammed schedule meant Rangers had no option but to make the four-hour trek north to Dingwall.
Connor Goldson and John Souttar’s defensive partnership is growing stronger by the week, Nico Raskin was buzzing about as normal after his muted showing during the 2-2 draw with PSV in midweek while Borna Barisic hushed his doubters with yet another assist.
