Ross County boss Don Cowie has been speaking to the media prior to Saturday’s league fixture against Dundee.
Here are the key points from his press conference:
The performance in the last-gasp defeat by Aberdeen before the international break was “was more like us, we were a team, we played together”.
Cowie was pleased to limit a Dons team in “red-hot form” to few opportunities and while disappointed to come away with nothing, wants to build on the display.
Despite County’s winless league start Cowie is impressed with how his side are progressing and says they are “in a good place” for the return to action.
Having made 12 signings in the summer window, Cowie is pleased with his “really competitive squad and options for every position”.
Dundee have been “really consistent” under Tony Docherty and the Staggies boss is anticipating a tough game.
On Simon Murray returning to Dingwall, Cowie says County “will have to be on guard, he’s a real threat, with sky high confidence”.
Ricki Lamie is out and Will Nightingale is a doubt. Max Sheaf, who has been out since April with a thigh injury, is back in training.
