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."

FA Cup: United win on penalties

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)

Then Burnley got a penalty  Although the referee John Brooks managed to miss the foul in real time, unlike against Wolves the video assistant referee, Peter Bankes, stepped in. Substitute Amdouni managed to send the keeper the wrong way and earn Burnley this point  This result moved Burnley to within two points of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, whom they play at Turf Moor on the final day of the season.  There could still be a dramatic fight for survival with Burnley, Luton and Forest all scrambling to avoid relegation to the Championship.  You can watch the highlights of the match in the video below.
