Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Rangers will be looking to stay in the title race when they take on Ross County in the closing match of the Premiership round 33. The Gers are enjoying a very successful season and they are now on a quest to put icing on the cake. Even though all Ridvan Yilmaz, Danilo Pereira, Oscar Cortes, and Ryan Jack remain in the recovery room, we are tempted to place our bets on the title hopefuls as Ross County suit them.
Winger Sima should be recalled to the starting eleven after finding the net in the Old Firm derby. You should bear in mind that Rangers defeated the Staggies in each of the previous six meetings between the two sides in the Scottish top flight. As for the home team, both Will Nighingale and Ross Callachan are out of contention with injuries, while Dylan Smith is a major doubt and the fellow midfielder will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Player (Tom Lawrence):
Tom Lawrence is a Welsh footballer who plays as a winger for Championship side Derby County. Born in Wrexham (Wales) on January 13, 1994, Tom Lawrence played for Everton and Manchester United during his youth career.
The 180-cm-tall footballer, though, made no more than one appearances for the Red Devils in the Premier League as he was immediately sent on loan to Carlisle United. The Wales international played for the likes of Yeovil Town, Leicester City, Rotherham United, Blackburn Rovers, Cardiff City and Ipswich Town as well before signing a contract with Derby County. Tom Lawrence’s main position is left winger, but he is used as both second striker and right winger as well.
The Derby County man made his Wales debut in November 2015 in a 3-2 loss to Netherlands. The highlight of his career is the goal he scored against Georgia in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. His preferred foot is right and he wears No. 10 jersey at Derby County.
