While Rangers enjoyed a remarkable invincible Premiership campaign last year, they have failed to replicate their league success this term and currently sit 13 points worse off than at this stage last season.
The Glaswegian giants have dropped points in 11 league games this season, drawing eight times and losing three, including two defeats to Celtic, but they were able to claim their 25th victory of the campaign when they won 2-0 at home to Dundee United last weekend.
After a frustrating goalless first half, the Gers were awarded a penalty in the 55th minute when Fashion Sakala was brought down by Benjamin Siegrist, with James Tavernier stepping up to convert the resulting spot kick. Amad Diallo then came off the bench to score 12 minutes from time to seal all three points.
While the title is almost certain to return to Parkhead this term, Giovanni van Bronckhorst will be keen for his side to build momentum in their final two league fixtures before preparing for the Europa League final and Scottish Cup final later this month.
Rangers will fancy their chances of success on Wednesday as they have never lost to Ross County in the Premiership, winning 11 times and drawing four of their 15 meetings.
Ross County extended their winless league run to three matches when they suffered a 1-0 defeat at home against Motherwell last weekend.
The games was goalless until the 68th minute when a soft penalty was awarded in the Steelmen’s favour after Alex Iacovitti was deemed to have fouled Kevin van Veen. The latter stepped up to convert the resulting spot kick and condemn the Staggies to their 15th league defeat of the campaign.

Malkay Mackay’s men remain in the hunt for a top-four finish, but that result has seen them slip to sixth place in the table, three points behind Motherwell in fourth.
Ross County head into Wednesday’s fixture having lost each of their last five league visits to Rangers, conceding at least twice in each defeat and shipping 15 goals in total.
The Staggies have, however, kept clean sheets in their last two away league games and will take confidence from the 3-3 home drawn against the Gers in January, a game which saw Matthew Wright score a dramatic 96th-minute equaliser.
