Rangers taking nothing for granted against Ross County as they look to maintain unbeaten run

“We’ll take that into the game against Ross County and treat that like a cup final, but every game is important for us. “We’re still at the early stages, but we’ve got to keep this consistency moving forward.” Tavernier has scored 15 goals in 24 appearances, nine of them from the penalty spot, including two conversions apiece against Hamilton and Motherwell, a valuable yield from the captain and all the more so from a full-back, who maintained his aptitude through extended ­practice, even when he was not first choice for the job. He also completed Celtic’s third successive treble and is now within a single game of a fourth – the ­Scottish Cup final against Hearts on Dec 20 – but the fans’ obsession with 10 in a row has magnified the disenchantment which would have come the way of any Celtic manager after two wins in 10 games, which included four successive home defeats. Thursday’s meeting with AC Milan in the San Siro was a dead ­rubber for Celtic, who could not make the Europa League knockout stage, but they led 2-0 after 14 ­minutes, only to be undermined by their many defensive frailties in a 4-2 defeat – the third in as many European ties that they had conceded four goals.
