John Robertson has been named the interim manager of Ross County, stepping in after Don Cowie's departure. Cowie left his position citing mutual agreement that it was in the club's best interest, especially after a rocky start to the season with only one point from three games.

Robertson, a seasoned figure in Scottish football, previously managed Ross County in 2005 and rejoined earlier this year as part of Cowie's coaching team. His extensive managerial experience includes stints at Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Hearts, Livingston, Derry City, and East Fife.

The club announced on X (formerly Twitter) that Robertson will oversee first-team training and prepare the squad for their upcoming Scottish Championship match against Dunfermline Athletic at East End Park. This game is part of five Championship fixtures scheduled for Saturday.

Ross County's relegation to the second tier via the play-offs marked the end of their six-year tenure in the Scottish Premiership. Robertson's appointment comes at a crucial time as the club seeks to rebuild and regain its competitive edge.

Robertson's leadership will be pivotal in navigating the team through this transitional period, with fans and stakeholders eager to see a turnaround in the club's fortunes.
