Jim McIntyre hoping Ross County can turn up pressure on Rangers

Jim McIntyre hopes his Ross County side can crank up the heat on Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha this weekend - provided they can make a fast start in Dingwall.

After a good opening day win at Dundee, County have fallen to consecutive defeats against Aberdeen and Motherwell.

But they are only one point behind Sunday's visitors Rangers, who have lost to Hibs and drawn against Hearts in the past fortnight.

The County boss told the North Star: "It is a great game to try and bounce back from. A full house at home is exactly the type of game you want to be playing. Rangers will be tough opposition.

"There has been a lot of turnover, so it will be a completely different side to last season as well as a new manager with new ideas.

"Every time you come up against good sides you know you need to start the game well and that is key. We can then hopefully go and show what a good side we are.

"We need a top performance. You need that high level of performance against the best teams, but also to be clinical when the opportunities come your way.

"Rangers have a number of players that could get them goals. We know we will be up against a team with good players, so we have to ensure we need to bring that high level of performance to the game."

Kenny van der Weg is suspended for Sunday following his sending off at Motherwell.
