"We picked up where we left off before the break and then the sending off obviously changes the game, " White told the club's social media, external. "It was disappointing not to take anything from the game but we move on, it's a big challenge ahead of us but we're looking forward to it. "White, who scored in all four meetings with Rangers last season, is champing at the bit to have a go again at the Glasgow side. "Their last two games there have been a lot of goals at both ends of the park and they'll probably be looking to not concede like they have done but there are things we can look at and take confidence. "I love these games and if I get the chance, I'll be looking to put it away again.
Ross County manager Malky Mackay: "I really enjoyed the way we played the first half. "The sending off gives momentum to St Johnstone and gives them the chance to come at us. I thought we were going to see the game out. It was waves of pressure and it took its toll. "We shot ourselves in the foot with the sending off. There are about five players who could have done something differently in that move for that not to have got to the point where Jack Baldwin's with Stevie May [and committing the foul]. "Image source, SNSThe Ross County goalkeeper made some impressive saves to keep St Johnstone at bay until Ali Crawford's well-taken double.
Image source, SNSWith both sides playing their first match since 12 November and the recent wintry weather, it was not surprising the game took time to warm up. Yan Dhanda's vision and delivery ultimately proved to be the difference in the first half, with Jordan White's task made that bit easier than the earlier chances afforded Stevie May and Andy Considine at the other end. Kazeem Olaigbe's drive at the Saints defence was almost Ross County's other outstanding moment but the game changed with Jack Baldwin's red card as Ali Crawford netted twice for St Johnstone. There are four changes to the County team that lost to Celtic in their last outing on 12 November. Manager Malky Mackay has brought in Jack Baldwin, who has recovered from injury, Owura Edwards, Kazeem Olaigbe and Jordan White. Meanwhile, Josh Sims and Keith Watson drop to the bench. Goalkeeper Ross Laidlaw and midfielder David Cancola are out of the match-day squad.
They’re a solid team, they don’t give much away. ”Image source, SNSRoss County manager Malky Mackay challenges his Canadian trio William Akio, Victor Loturi and Ben Paton to push for international call-ups.  (Press and Journal - subscription required), external Image source, BBC SportImage source, SNSRoss County have only lost one of their past 11 Scottish Premiership meetings with St Johnstone (W3 D7). St Johnstone are winless in their past six league visits to Ross County, although five of those have been drawn.
Ross County have conceded more home goals than any other Scottish Premiership side this season (18), with just one of their four league clean sheets this term coming at home. Ross County's Jordan White has scored three goals in his last five Scottish Premiership appearances, as many as he had in his previous 30 in the division. Ross County manager Malky Mackay is relishing the prospect of taking on Rangers on Friday night, and believes the game is "perfectly winnable".
 “We had 4 or 5 injured lads, they’ve all come back now. It’s good to have everyone back fit, no-one’s safe, we've got to keep working hard in training and we’re raring to go tomorrow. Iacovitti also hinted that County have a specific plan to counter the threats that St Johnstone pose. “We know what their strengths and weaknesses are, " he said. "We’re well prepared, we’ve got a gameplan - you'll have to find out tomorrow.
Ross Callachan is being assessed and Ben Purrington is the only long-term absentee. Rangers will be without as many as 11 players for the trip north. Top-scorer Antonio Colak is ruled out with a calf problem but manager Michael Beale expects the striker to be fit for the game against Motherwell on 28 December - as could fellow forward Kemar Roofe. Alfredo Morelos and Glen Kamara are carrying injuries but likely to keep playing while James Tavernier, who was ill during the week, has now recovered. Defender Ben Davies could start after returning from injury as a midweek substitute but Ridvan Yilmaz, Borna Barisic, John Souttar, Filip Helander, Tom Lawrence, and Ianis Hagi are out of action.
Ross County - BBC SportRoss County manager Malky Mackay is urging his players to revel in the experience of welcoming Rangers to Dingwall tonight. "If you don't enjoy the game that's coming up on Friday night, then you don't really enjoy football, " Mackay told the club's social media channels, external. "As a player, you want to play against the best, in front of big crowds and it's live on television as well, what more can you ask for? "We are playing against a top team and we are going to have to test ourselves and it's going to be tough, but as a footballer and manager, you should want that. "We have got to make sure it is a tough game for Rangers too, that we make a real fist of it. "County defender Jack Baldwin is suspended following his red card last weekend - but David Cancola returns to the squad.
 St Johnstone smashed home two late goals both courtesy of Ali Crawford so sink Malky Mackay’s men - who gave a decent showing in the first half.  There was a lack of chances for County, but they should have gone into the break 2-0 up if it wasn’t for Kazeem Olaigbe dragging wide from a gilt-edged opportunity to kill the game early on.  It’s easy to berate him for the miss but after that the Staggies didn’t create any half decent chances - leaving Jordan White with little to work with after his tremendous headed goal.  This week we’ve been linked with striker Cole Stockton, who could be a decent addition - but I can’t help think that creativity is more needed than a finisher.
"We don’t take them lightly, but we go into the game with belief. Every game is perfectly winnable. "Who can’t look forward to a game under lights at home, live on television playing against one of the best teams in the country - I cannot wait, it’s what you want to be in football for. ”Image source, SNSA humdinger in Dingwall beckons with Ross County taking on Rangers under the Friday night lights.

“Every game we play in this league is tough, " Mackay said. "When you play the top two you know how tough it’s going to be.  “You’ve seen a couple of teams beat them (Celtic and Rangers) this year. I don’t ever go into a game looking for a point. "You play against them and it’s a really tough challenge. You’re playing against squads that can bring on five players that can absolutely change the game because they’re top talents. "County resumed their Scottish Premiership season with a 2-1 defeat to St Johnstone on Saturday, but Mackay is adamant that his side's spirits are unaffected. "People talk about going to Parkhead and Ibrox and it being dangerous, Celtic went to Tannadice this year and it was incredible, " he added.

White is doing fairly well this season bearing in mind the number of real chances which are falling to him.  Jordan White, the Staggies' scorer in the 2-1 defeat by St Johnstone, believes he can score more goals thanks to the quality of crosses from his team-mate Yan Dhanda. "I have a really good relationship with Yan, " said White of the midfielder. "When he gets into that area I know exactly what he’s going to do and quite a lot of my goals have been similar. He’s got the quality to produce great deliveries.
