Tony Docherty has been appointed as the new Ross County manager.

The Dingwall club turned to Docherty as the successor to Don Cowie as they aim to make a quickfire return to the Scottish Premiership.

Former Dundee boss Docherty was the standout candidate for the job after club chiefs were "hugely encouraged by the quality of applications" for the vacant post.

Chief executive Steven Ferguson commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Tony Docherty to Ross County.

"He brings with him not only a wealth of experience and proven leadership but also a clear alignment with our club values and long-term vision.

"Today, however, marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter under Tony Docherty".

A club statement added: "The Club would like to place on record our sincere thanks to John Robertson, who stepped into the role on a temporary basis with professionalism and commitment."
