Ross County made it 5 wins in a row and 9 league games (or to put it into perspective 25% of the season) without defeat as they emerged 2-0 winners over Morton.

Stuart Kettlewell's run put him in the perfect position to slot home the opener from Colin McMenamin's cross in the 34th minute after the forward was set free on the left wing following a neat interchange of passes. Although County had the better opportunities, it was not until the 95th minute that the 3 points were definitely secured after Mark Corcoran found fellow substitute Kurtis Byrne in the box. Former County keeper Colin Stewart managed to turn the Irishman's initial effort on to the bar, but somehow the rebound ended up in the net to guarantee the Staggies remained top of the table for another week.

Falkirk's win over Raith keeps the pressure on as the Bairns remain just 3 points behind in second place ahead of this weekend's fixtures, when County make another trip down the A9 to take on Partick Thistle. The Jags won away to Dundee on Saturday moving them up to 4th so Jackie McNamara's men go into the match on a high, however there is plenty of motivation for County who know that avoiding defeat would guarantee that they remain at the summit for another week going in to the match against Falkirk at Victoria Park on the 12th.

County will be hoping to benefit from a good support at Firhill, as the Black Isle Supporters Club are intending to run a supporters bus to the match.
