Rangers held to Ross County draw

Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor gave away two goals as the Scottish Premiership leaders were held to a 3-3 draw at lowly Ross County on Saturday.

The draw left Rangers five points clear of second-placed Celtic, with their bitter Glasgow rivals in action later Saturday against Dundee United.

Amad Diallo scored inside five minutes of his Rangers debut but the loan signing from Manchester United was off injured before County's late leveller.

Jordan White levelled in the 25th minute after McGregor dropped a cross but Regan Charles-Cook put the home team in front four minutes later.

Rangers' James Tavernier equalised at the start of the second half and then Connor Goldson gave the champions the lead after 72 minutes.

In the scramble following a Country corner in the sixth minute of added time, the ball came off McGregor's body and Wright pounced.

"It's very disappointing," Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst told Sky Sports.

"We give two goals to Ross County. That made it really difficult for us. The reaction we had in the second half was really good.

"We had some chances to kill the game and make the fourth and decisive goal.

"In the end in extra-time, we were too sloppy. We give the ball away, we give a corner away. It's not something I'm used to seeing -- so many goals against us in this manner."

Charles-Cook said a draw was just reward for County's recent form.

"We felt like this was coming -- a result against one of the top three," he said.

"We played well against Celtic and Hearts. I'm just buzzing to get at least a draw today."

Two wins in a row would take Celtic top of the table, with the Hoops at home to Rangers in an Old Firm derby on Wednesday.

The strong winds and rain that have hit Scotland as a result of Storm Malik saw Saturday's top-flight Scottish matches between Aberdeen and St Johnstone and Dundee and St Mirren postponed.
