DEREK ADAMS, the former Ross County manager, has returned to football with Plymouth Argyle.

The English League two side are expected to confirm his appointment as their new manager on Friday.

The 39-year-old Adams took Ross County from the Scottish Second Division to the Premier League, as well as a Scottish Cup final in 2010.

The Highland club finished fifth and seventh in the SPL in 2012/13 and 2013/14 respectively, before Adams and County parted company last August.
