Ross County Makes History with Victory Over Rangers: Sims and Murray Shine

Ross County pulled off a historic victory over Rangers in a thrilling Scottish Premiership clash that saw both Josh Sims and Simon Murray find the back of the net.

The match started with County sensing that history could be made, despite Rangers taking the lead in the first half with Jack Baldwin’s own goal. However, strikes from Simon Murray and George Harmon turned the game around before Josh Sims sealed the victory with a close-range finish. Rangers managed to pull one back with James Tavernier’s late penalty, but it wasn’t enough to deny County their first-ever win over the Glasgow side.

The victory not only marked a significant moment in County’s history but also dealt a damaging blow to Rangers’ title hopes, leaving them four points adrift at the top of the table. The result narrowed the gap between County and St Johnstone to just one point, giving them a major boost in their bid to avoid relegation.

Player of the match, Simon Murray, played a crucial role in County’s victory with a goal and an assist, showcasing his exceptional work rate throughout the game.

The win highlighted County’s resilience and determination, as they outplayed a Rangers side that looked disjointed and lacking in quality. The result will surely be a wake-up call for Rangers as they look to bounce back in their upcoming fixtures.

Overall, it was a historic and memorable night for Ross County, who proved that they are more than capable of competing with the best in the Scottish Premiership.
