All isn’t quite as happy and glorious inside Ibrox as is generally portrayed.
Two new signings and a 3-0 win at Tynecastle provided plenty of comfort but largely the same squad of players has been relied on for five seasons with signs of fatigue and boredom obvious to the outsider.
Jordan White’s second half goal for Ross County signalled 10 minutes of panic on Saturday, unfortunately a deflection off the same player provided the winning goal but the scoreline highlighted the flatness of performances.
Micky Beale has taken 28 points from 10 matches but he will need to be provided with massive funds to keep the gang together in the summer with Ryan Jack, Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent looking for pay rises to put then in line with Kemar Roofe and John Lundstram.
Ross County’s weekly wage bill comes in at about 50% of Kemar Roofe’s deal but on Saturday they were sending distress signals throughout Ibrox.
Football Scotland reports White saying:
To come to a place like this, have chances and have a lot of the ball, like we did, you’ve got to take the positives from it.
Did we have Rangers worried? Absolutely. They didn’t like it at the end. We’ve come up short but we’ve got to build on this and not just be happy to do that against Rangers.
In May White was in Seville, drinking toilet water alongside 18,000 other loyal bears.
Since Beale arrived only Leon King and Ianis Hagi have extended their contracts, neither player got off the bench on Saturday.
