Rangers continue to dominate in Scotland, possessing 55 league titles and a total of 118 titles, outpacing Celtic’s 53 league titles and 116 total titles. However, in recent times, Celtic has shown superior performance and could potentially surpass Rangers soon. This season started off poorly for Rangers, with the possibility of losing the title early on. Yet, after an impressive two and a half months, they’re now trailing by just two points behind the first place, Celtic, despite having a game in hand. Furthermore, Rangers had an excellent run in the Europa League, clinching the 1/8 Finals by topping Group C over Sparta Prague, Real Betis, and Aris.

Last year, Ross County just managed to avoid relegation, winning 4:3 on aggregate against Partick Thistle in the relegation playout. This season, even though it’s still early days, Ross County appears to be headed for another relegation struggle. Currently, they’re sitting in 10th place with 17 points from 17 rounds. However, they’re facing a challenging line-up of opponents in their upcoming games, including Rangers, Hearts, Aberdeen, and Celtic. Therefore, the situation for the Staggies is likely to only deteriorate after these matches.

Rangers vs Ross County pick: Both teams to score &— NO

At the moment, Rangers top the league and are certain to score at least one goal in their upcoming match. Their defense has been astonishing, having only conceded eight goals in eighteen rounds, an average of 0.44 per game. To understand their superiority, consider that Celtic, the second-best defensive team, has let in 14 goals over nineteen rounds (0.74 per game). Moreover, Rangers have not conceded a single goal in their last three matches across all competitions!

Ross County suffered consecutive defeats against Dundee FC and St. Mirren, failing to score in both games. Therefore, it’s difficult to anticipate them scoring away goals against the league’s top defensive team.

Interestingly, both teams had the lowest number of games in the league where both teams scored. Only 22% of the games of Rangers and 24% of Ross County’s games ended with both teams scoring.

In the last head-to-head match, Rangers secured a 2:0 victory on the away ground. Given this, a similar result may be expected. However, due to the low odds on Asian handicaps, our preference leans towards a ‘Both Teams To Score &— No’ bet.
