Rangers made light of visiting Ross County in a 4-0 victory with two goals from Ianis Hagi. County now found themselves in the precarious 11th place position.
It took almost twenty minutes but Hagi made the most of Jordan Amissah’s spill following Vaclav Cerny’s to break the deadlock.
Adding a second just seven minutes later, the Romanian international was perhaps fortunate to see his free-kick deflected off the wall and past a helpless Amissah.
Unable to withstand the onslaught County were caught in the 36th minute as John Souttar blasted a shot into the roof of the net after Nico Raskin headed the ball into his path.
If it hadn’t been game over by then, it was certainly was when Jordan White’s scything cut down of gave James Tavernier the chance to make it four from the spot, which the captain duly did.
County’s chances in the game were few and far between albeit Jordan White’s header in the first half from a corner forced a good save from Jack Butland.
