Rangers boss Michael Beale was upbeat about the gutsy win over Ross County at Ibrox - though he could not hide his disappointment at losing John Lundstram to injury early in the first half.
The fixture against the relegation-threatened Staggies was topsy-turvy to say the least. A strong start saw Rangers fail to capitalise on early pressure until the 45th-minute, where Todd Cantwell's cross found the head of Malik Tillman to alleviate fears going into the break. The Light Blues created nothing much of note from that point, and a shock to the system came when Jordan White headed in after some comical Jon McLaughlin goalkeeping with 20 minutes to go.
Borna Barisic was the saviour with a deflected free-kick, and whilst the win keeps Rangers six points behind Celtic in the title race, he bemoaned the loss of Lundstram, who he believes is integral to the structure at the Govan-based club and could be a serious miss for the rest of the campaign. The Liverpudlian went down under a strong challenge and hobbled off, with Beale opening up on the length of the injury severity.

Speaking post-match to BBC Sportsound, Beale said: "He stabilised us a little bit today. John is really important to our structure and was fantastic in midweek.
"He's gone to block a shot and rolled his ankle. It looks like quite a nasty one. We will take a scan on that in the next 24 hours and update afterwards."
