Borna Barisic's Rangers rout showing taught Ross County defender Jason Naismith a hard lesson

Defender Jason Naismith is taking the positives from Borna Barisic 's practical tutorial in Ross County's drubbing at Ibrox.

The marauding Croatia cap was a key figure as the Scottish Premiership leaders' ran riot in the 5-0 win over the Staggies at Ibrox.

The result means Steven Gerrard 's side stretched their lead over Celtic to 23 points having played three games more, and right-back Naismith was impressed by the opponents.

He reckons every day is a school day especially when facing off against one of Rangers ' key men.

Ahead of the visit of Motherwell, the 26-year-old said: "Obviously playing against international players you are always learning on the job and my direct opponent was Barisic.

"The guy is a Croatia international and you take wee pointers.

"Even (with) me at 26, some of the stuff he did during the game I have in my mind and hopefully that improves me as a player.”
