Rangers hit Ross County for six to go top

Cyriel Dessers and Rabbi Matondo both scored twice as a rampant Rangers routed Ross County 6-0 to go top of the Scottish Premiership.

Tom Lawrence and Danilo were also on target as Philippe Clement's men boosted their confidence ahead of the trip to Celtic next weekend.

In what could be Rangers' final match of their temporary stay at Hampden Park due to ongoing renovation works at Ibrox, they produced their most convincing performance of the season to date.

Dessers has now struck five times in six games this season and opened the scoring on 18 minutes.

Rabbi Matondo has been linked with a move away before the end of the transfer window on Friday.

However, the Welsh winger gave Clement food for thought with two goals and two assists.

Matondo finished the game as a contest when he converted from James Tavernier's cross just before halftime.

Dessers and Matondo netted again at the start of the second half either side of Lawrence's strike.

Substitute Danilo then rounded off a fine afternoon for Rangers with his first goal since November after a lengthy knee injury.

Rangers lead Celtic by one point, but the Hoops can go back to the top of the table when they travel to St. Mirren on Sunday.

"You see more and more the football we want to play," said Clement.

"It's all the little details we have been working on for weeks and months and you see a young team, a talented team that is getting to know each other a lot better."

Hibernian boss David Gray is still waiting for his first league win after Simon Murray's late equaliser earned a 2-2 draw for Dundee at Easter Road.

Dundee United maintained their unbeaten return to the top flight with a 2-0 win over 10-man St. Johnstone.
