Gerrard feels Rangers are close to being unstoppable

STEVEN GERRARD reckons Rangers will be “difficult to stop” if they can eradicate the sloppy mistakes that are undermining their clinical attacking play at present.

The champions will head into the international break top of the Premiership after coming from behind to clinch a 4-2 victory at home to Ross County.

Strikes from Joe Aribo, Ryan Kent and Juninho Bacuna, plus an Alex

Iacovitti own goal, saw Rangers consolidate their four-point lead in the title race.

Gerrard was frustrated at the manner of efforts from Joseph Hungbo and Jordan White as County struck the first and last goals of an entertaining Ibrox affair.

But there were plenty of reasons to be cheerful as Rangers’ attentions turn to the Premier Sports Cup showdown with Hibernian this month.

Gerrard told RangersTV: “A lot of positives. I thought Bacuna has come in today and put in a real top performance, Joe Aribo was at it, Ryan Kent scored a worldie goal, I thought Fashion’s performance was really selfless, a lot of hard work and running in behind.

“We looked really mobile and dangerous today, which is great and why we want fast players in those positions.

“Ten goals in two league games, we are entertaining our supporters and that is the main thing from a going forward point of view. We have just got to stop conceding these sloppy ones now.

“[The first goal] is offside. Very marginal but in my position I am always going to point a finger at that.

“Second one is sloppy but I have taken Leon Balogun off to protect him because we need him for the semi-final and with Fil [Helander] being injured he is so important.

“I am putting people in positions that they are maybe not fully up to speed with or strong in, so maybe I will take part of the responsibility for the second goal.

“But, in general, we need to stop conceding sloppy ones and get back to clean sheets and being tough to play against.

“If we do and we keep showing that quality going forward it will be

difficult to stop.”
