Ross County faces Rangers this Sunday, hoping to turn their fortunes around.
Topics covered
As December kicks off, Ross County prepares for a significant Premiership clash against Rangers this Sunday. After a challenging November, the Staggies find themselves in a precarious position, sitting eighth in the league, just three points shy of the top half. The month ended on a sour note with a heavy 5-0 defeat to Celtic, raising concerns about their defensive capabilities.
November was a month of ups and downs for Ross County.
The team started with a goalless draw against St Mirren, followed by a disappointing 3-0 loss to Dundee United, where all goals were conceded in the second half. However, they managed to bounce back with a commendable 2-1 victory over Motherwell, showcasing their resilience. Despite this win, the crushing defeat to Celtic highlighted significant defensive issues, with a total of 27 goals conceded this season, raising alarms among supporters.
One of the stark contrasts in Ross County’s performance is their home and away form. At home, they have been formidable, with only two losses against top teams like Celtic and Aberdeen. In contrast, their away performances have been dismal, currently sitting at the bottom of the form table with just three points from their travels. This inconsistency poses a challenge for manager Don Cowie, who must find a way to translate their home success into away victories.
Amidst the struggles, certain players have stood out. Noah Chilvers has emerged as a key figure, demonstrating his adaptability and skill on the pitch. His recent performances, particularly against Motherwell, have been instrumental in securing points for the team. Additionally, Josh Nisbet’s first goal for the club has injected optimism into the squad. Looking ahead, January’s transfer window could bring changes, with the potential for new signings to bolster the squad, particularly in the winger and defensive midfielder positions.
As Ross County gears up for their match against Rangers, the focus will be on improving their away form. With upcoming fixtures against Hibs, St Mirren, Dundee, and Hearts, the team has a crucial opportunity to climb the league table. Supporters remain hopeful that the team can harness their home strength and translate it into away performances, aiming for a top-six finish by the end of the season.
