Scotland: Ross County dent Rangers title hopes

-

 Ross County 3 - 2 Rangers

Ross County managed to secure their first-ever victory over Rangers, coming from behind and dealing a significant blow to the visitors' Scottish Premiership title hopes. 

Despite Rangers leading at halftime thanks to Jack Baldwin's own goal, County sensed that history could be made. Simon Murray and George Harmon's strikes on the rebound turned the game on its head, and Josh Sims' close-range finish left the visitors struggling for ideas. 

James Tavernier's late penalty reply was not enough for Rangers, who suffered their first away defeat in eight games since losing at Celtic Park in December.

The defeat leaves Philippe Clement's side four points adrift at the top, while County's victory narrowed the gap with St Johnstone to one point, boosting their hopes of avoiding a relegation play-off.

One YouTuber by the name of @MalTimeTV commented: "As always, the title still goes to the team that can win all of its games - but with today's result, Celtic can afford to draw in the next Old Firm at home and the title will still be in their own hands. However, it looks to me like Rangers are running out of steam at the tail end of the season while Celtic have found a second wind. I didn't see any appetite in Rangers' play at all today, not to take away from Ross County."

Best reaction

Dom, a Ross County fan, told us: "Wow, what a win for us! I'm delighted for the whole football club. It was built upon a very good team performance today. We started the second half excellently and got a bit nervous at the end."

Elliott, another fan of the home side: "It was a brilliant game. We deserved it. The players scored at good times, and they took a step back and didn't realise what happened. The atmosphere was also the best atmosphere at this ground in years."

Jamie, a Rangers fan was really annoyed with this result. He said: "The reality is that Rangers are once again struggling against Celtic, with both Michael Beale and Clement coming up short against them. This result against Ross County was another sign that maybe, we don't have it in us to win the title."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Manchester United 5 - 2 Leicester City  Ruud van Nistelrooy began his tenure as Manchester United’s interim manager on a high, with his team cruising past Leicester to secure a spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
