County could cause 'chaos' after Rangers shock

Ross County's rousing win over Rangers could breathe new life into their survival bid, says former Staggies defender Richard Foster.

"To beat Rangers the game before the league splits, it's a huge result. A massive momentum shifter," Foster told BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.

"The three points is to the be all and end all. It's at the business end of the season. You need to win points to stay in the league.

"If Don Cowie gets that level of performance for the next five games, then Ross County will win more games than they'll lose and they'll comfortably stay in the league.

"I think Ross County's issue this season has been the fluctuation in terms of the performance level. But if I'm a Ross County fan, if I'm in that Ross County dressing room, if I'm Don Cowie, I'm looking at all these pleasing aspects going, 'we've just beaten, albeit not 100%, but it's still a good Rangers side'.

"They're still full of qualities. They're still a team that up until that point were kind of odds on favourites to probably go and win the title, so it's a huge performance against a good side and that can only give them confidence.

"If you look at the league table now, they're a point behind St. Johnstone, they're five points behind Aberdeen.

"If they play either one of those teams in the first round of the split fixtures and they manage to win that and it could be chaos in that bottom six."
