Friday Football Tips: Follow Rangers' full-backs for profit

• Barisic a big price to assist a goal

• Expect Rangers corners

• Back Bet Builder at close to 13/1

Ross County v Rangers

It's two wins out of two so far for new Rangers boss Michael Beale, albeit both have involved close shaves.

The Gers have come from 2-1 down to beat both Hibernian and Aberdeen in the past week, Tuesday's game at Pittodrie being won thanks to two goals in injury time.

However, both of those matches have come against better opposition than they'll face on Friday in Dingwall.

Ross County sit 10th in the table, very much in the relegation dogfight, and only the two sides below them have a worse defensive record.

In their four games against the Old Firm so far this season they've conceded 13 goals and managed possession percentages of 22-25-28-25.

In short, Rangers should be back to get back towards their dominant best here.

They've scored at least three goals in each of their last seven matches against County and something similar here would be no surprise.

How they go about their business could well be the route to profit for props punters and I'm expecting big showings from the full-backs, likely to be James Tavernier and Borna Barisic, who looks set to return to the starting XI after his World Cup campaign with Croatia.

With Rangers likely to have more than 70% of the ball, they'll get licence to push forward down the flanks and deliver plenty of crosses - both average more than 10 per game this season.

Corners should follow and Rangers to have over 6.5 is the first leg of our Bet Builder.

They've managed this is their last six against County, while they average eight per game in the Premiership this season.

Meanwhile, County's corners-conceded average on home soil this season is a whopping 7.56.

Focusing in on the full-backs themselves, Tavernier can be added for 1+ shot on target, something he's landed in 10 of 17 league games this season.

Rangers' penalty-taker had three shots in the reverse fixture at Ibrox earlier in the season, hitting one on target.

On the other side of the pitch, Barisic looks good value at 16/5 for an assist.

He's already had five in 15 league appearances in 2022/23 which immediately makes the odds look good.

Tavernier also has five but, in contrast, he's odds-on in this market despite the fact that Barisic is averaging slightly more crosses per game. Basically the price is a good one.

The three legs together make a tasty Bet Builder which pays close to 13/1.

I'll end with my usual reminder to check the starting line-ups before kick-off. If either player doesn't start, you'll be able to cashout and then replace your bet using starters only.
