Don Cowie believes he is the right man to lead Ross County back to the Premiership after the Staggies were relegated following their play-off defeat against Livingston. County suffered a 5-3 aggregate defeat to Livi, to end their six-year stay in the top flight. With the sides locked at 1-1 following the first leg, County made the ideal start to go two goals to the good through Josh Nisbet and Ronan Hale inside 24 minutes.

Don Cowie insists providing more ammunition for talisman Ronan Hale holds the key to Ross County navigating their Premiership play-off tie against Livingston. The Staggies’ top-flight status is on the line in Dingwall tonight, with the tie locked at 1-1 following Thursday’s first leg at Almondvale. Northern Irishman Hale’s stoppage time penalty – his 17th goal of the season – levelled the tie after Danny Wilson’s first-half goal looked like giving Livi the advantage.

Forward Hale has netted five goals in his last seven outings since being recalled into Don Cowie’s starting line-up in April. His recent form saw him retain his place in the Northern Ireland squad earlier this week, having received his first call-up – albeit without being capped – earlier this year.

Connor Randall insists Ross County cannot dwell on what has got them into a third successive play-off as they aim to retain their Premiership status. The Staggies face a two-legged tie against Livingston in order to remain in the top-flight, after once again finishing 11th in the table. County have enjoyed a fruitful spell, which has seen them enjoy 12 of the last 13 years in Scotland’s top division.
