STRIKER ENJOYS PLAYING RANGERS

-

From page 60 White continued: “It goes to show that if we can take that into next season and start the season well, we’ve got a right chance.”

White briefly gave County hope when he netted at Ibrox to make it 2-1, before Rangers struck two late goals.

The strike was White’s 100th goal from open play in Scottish football across spells with County, Caley Thistle, Livingston, Stirling Albion and Clyde.

It means White has now scored in all four matches against the Gers this season, taking his tally to six for the campaign.

The 30-year-old added: “My dad has the stats down to a tee, but I think it’s 100 from open play as I have scored more than that.

“I think most of my goals have come against Rangers, so maybe if I play them in every game I will score more. It’s just a coincidenc­e, I have had the chances and thankfully they have come off.

“We got them into a position where we pressed well. We nicked the ball and it just opened up for me, and I caught it as well as I could have.”

County finish their campaign at home to Dundee United tomorrow, with United pushing to secure fourth spot. White insists the Staggies have no intention of allowing their season to fizzle out.

He added: “We always want to finish well. There will be no holding back on Saturday, we want to go out on a high – especially in front of our own fans.

“The fans have been great. It comes with the interactio­n with the players and coaching staff, and everybody around the club.

“We are on a journey as we call it, and we want to keep moving that forward.”
