Baldwin says Rangers defeat won’t deflate County
JACK BALDWIN insists there are reasons to be optimistic for Ross County despite suffering another defeat to Rangers on Sunday.
The Staggies stunned Ibrox as Joseph Hungbo netted in the opening minutes but a late Jordan White strike ultimately mattered little in a 4-2 reverse.
Joe Aribo, Ryan Kent and Juninho Bacuna hit the target for Rangers and an own goal from Alex Iacovitti added to County’s woes at the bottom of the Premiership.
Malky Mackay’s side are four points adrift of Dundee but Baldwin is confident County can turn their campaign around after the international break. Baldwin said: “Listen, the bunch of lads we’ve got in the changing room are talented.
“When we believe in ourselves we can really put in some good performances. We showed that at Dundee. We knew going to Ibrox was going to be tough – probably the toughest place in the league to come at the moment. But the stats show that we are one of only two teams to score two goals here this season. So there are positives to take.
“There are errors and frustrating parts that we can reflect on and really take that belief into our games after the international break. Even the games before the Dundee game we felt that somebody was going to be on the end of a few goals after a strong performance.
“In the games prior to that we’d lost out to sloppy goals that we felt we could eradicate and do better with. If we keep taking the positives from each week, I’m sure we’ll gel more as a team, will be able to see more games out and will be able to get some clean sheets under our belts.
“We can be a really solid team to beat first and foremost.”
