An emphatic 9 - 0 victory over Second Division high flyers Stirling Albion has earned Ross County a place in the Active Nation Scottish Cup Quarter finals, the first time the Club has reached this stage of the competition in its history.

A Garry Wood hat trick, a brace from Michael Gardyne and goals from Alex Keddie, Richard Brittain, Scott Morrison and Stuart Kettlewell took the Staggies tally to 18 goals in the three rounds of the competition played so far this season and ensured County's place in the last 8. The draw will be mad at 13:00 this Wednesday, the 10th of February, and will be shown live on Sky Sports News.

Meanwhile Derek and the team will be putting thoughts of the Cup out of their minds as they prepare for Saturday's home League match against Dunfermline Athletic. So far the two sides have been inseparable this Season with both previous matches finishing level after thoroughly entertaining games, but with both teams looking to ensure they are in the mix at the top of the table come the end of the Season there's no doubt both will be looking for all 3 points this time round.
