Ross County form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ross County so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-2 (win-draw-lose).

The manager S. Kettlewell was unhappy after their last game, a Premiership match played at their home ground Hope CBD Stadium. Ross County suffered a 0-4 loss to Rangers (placed 2nd). Preceding that game, the 2-2 draw paying a visit to Hibernian.

Ross County lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
