What a rollercoaster of a game. Never expected 7 goals but great entertainment and deserved the win.
To think that posters on here have accused Rangers of not having bottle.
Morelos was terrific tonight and involved in three of the goals while Kent caused them all sorts of problems and involved in two goals. Quality players despite the assessment of some on here.

It's nice to finally be back to some competitive football tonight. We've not really played a game where the result mattered since the last old firm game so I'm looking forward to this. There's no real excitement watching league games you can easily afford to lose.
I expect Morelos to shine on the big stage again. 2.1 rangers with him scoring twice.
Good result for Rangers last night but the part in bold made me laugh. Since the last Old Firm game (2nd Jan) Rangers have played seven domestic games. Apart from the Ross County game, those games were drawn (Hamilton) or won by a single goal. As we all know, on several of those games Rangers should have had players sent off which could have dramatically changed the results. I expect Morelos to shine on the big stage again. 2.1 rangers with him scoring twice.
Don't be blinded by the points difference - there's really not that much in it on the pitch.

The rangers fans I speak to were all in agreement that it was exciting to have a game to play where the performance and result really mattered to us. Another huge game next week then it'll be back to meaningless games games until either old firm or mathematical title win game.

That's an interesting slant to put on "undefeated".Don't be blinded by the points difference - there's really not that much in it on the pitch.

Always better with South American commentary.
This is a mexican commentator with Roofe's goal.

A couple of weeks ago I'd say Livingston were the strong favourites to win the cup next weekend. Livingston have dropped off now and St Johnstone look far better. They battered Motherwell today.
I don't agree with the Hamilton sending off today. We've went a few weeks of red cards not being given for easy red card decisions, now the last couple of weeks they are getting dished out too easily. I can't help but feel the pressure on the refs is influencing them.
I agree with Sportscene about the Hibs' penalty. I can't see it, but again the TV footage is poor. What's happened with the quality of the filming recently? It's never been great, but the last while the quality had been really poor. There's hardly any cameras and they aren't good quality. They also are slow to keep up with play.
Have all the clubs furloughed ground staff? All the parks are a mess.

With Roofe presumably out for the big European game on Thursday I'd prefer to see Morelos rested today. Use either Itten or Defoe (who isn't in the European squad at all). If we end up dropping points and delaying the official title party an extra week... so be it. Lets make sure we're in the next round of Europe as a priority.

United looked dangerous for the first 20 minutes but Rangers handled the pressure well and worthy winners in the end. Another step closer. Aribo and Kent were fantastic to watch at times.
Being out on the bench seems to have jolted Kent into life, he was great on Thursday and some of his moves today were top notch,Aribo was tremendous today too.Huge fan of Ross county playing beautiful Sunday at the end of the game tonight
That was a huge win for ross county and will give them some confidence. There's more excitement at the bottom of the table than the top. Hamilton and RC are the only two that look like winning games although Hamilton's fixtures before the split are tough. I'd wouldn't mind kilmarnock going down if it meant one less plastic pitch.
Lennon said in his interview last night that he can't change the way they defend set pieces so it looks like there is more fun to come. That Christie miss though.
