Staggies need no warning to remain grounded, says Ferguson

Ross County co-manager Steven Ferguson insists recent experience gives the Staggies all the warning they need to remain grounded after recording back-to-back wins.

County’s two home victories over Hibernian and Kilmarnock have provided County with a welcome upturn in fortunes, following a run of nine matches without a victory.

While the results have given the Dingwall men breathing space, giving them an eight-point gap over bottom spot and moving them to within two points of a top-half position.

Ferguson insists the Staggies cannot afford to show any complacency ahead of their next outing away to Livingston on Saturday, and he said: “The margins are extremely fine. Everybody in the league will tell you three points in the league is massive, and if you can string a couple of them together and get six points it becomes even bigger.

“That can change very quickly. Depending on your form and how your fixtures come, it’s very easy in the Premiership to go on a run of six, seven or eight games without winning.

“Probably, three quarters of the league will experience that at some stage during the season. Equally, if one of those teams can string a few wins together they can get a little bit of breathing space and daylight.

“That can be dangerous as well, because it can very quickly turn on its head. We are well aware of that.

“You will not see us singing at the top of our voice about winning two games of football. It helps us on the run we were on, and it gives us the belief I spoke about a couple of weeks ago.

“Every little positive we have had over the last two games has helped to strengthen that belief that if we do things properly we can compete in the Premiership.”

County were forced to withdraw winger Michael Gardyne after less than 10 minutes of Saturday’s 1-0 triumph over Killie due to a hamstring problem, with Ferguson confirming the Staggies are still awaiting news on whether he will be fit to face Livi this weekend.

Ferguson added: “He will get scanned this week. There is no point surmising how long it’s going to be, we don’t quite know how bad it is. Hopefully it’s a minor one, and we get him patched up and ready to go in the next couple of weeks.

“There is no point in me guessing at that one. If there’s nothing showing up in the scan, we will work towards getting him back into the group.”

County were boosted by the return of midfielder Iain Vigurs to action for County’s reserves against Hamilton Accies yesterday following a foot operation, having been sidelined since September.
