ROSS County have sacked their management team of Jim McIntyre and Billy Dodds after only seven games of the Ladbrokes Premiership season.

The former Queen of the South and Dunfermline boss arrived in Dingwall in 2014, going on to lead the club to its first major trophy by winning the League Cup in 2014/15. 

However, the Staggies are without a win since the opening day of the campaign and currently sit one point off bottom in 10th place. 

The club announced its decision on Monday morning after a 1-0 home loss to Hibernian on Saturday marked their sixth defeat in the last seven games.

Academy Director Steven Ferguson will take the reins as caretaker manager until the position is filled permanently. 

A club statement read: "We would like to thank Jim and Billy for their dedication and hard work during their time at the Club and in particular would like to acknowledge their achievement in guiding the Club to winning its first piece of major silverware. We wish them both well for the future."
