Pie praise for Ross County
While they may be sitting in the bottom half of the league table, the Staggies appear to have won over home and away fans with their selection of pies.
The “Staggie Pie” filled with venison and “The Haggis Pie” topped with neeps and tatties can both be purchased at Victoria Park.
Chicken curry and macaroni options are also sold at the ground.
The Dingwall-based club took to social media to spread the news of their latest achievement.
The Staggies also had something to celebrate in knocking Kilmarnock down to second place.
Earlier this year, Cafe V8 in Inverness won a silver prize at the The World Championship Scotch Pie Awards for its “Steak N Gravy Football Pie” supplied to Ross County.
