STUART KETTLEWELL stressed that Ross County will not allow the weekend's defeat to Aberdeen to fester as they prepare to face Rangers at Ibrox on Sunday.
The Staggies boss claimed his side turned in their poorest performance of the season in the 3-0 home loss to the Dons on Sunday.
However, Kettlewell is determined to consign the performance and result to history and get ready to take on the Premiership leaders.
He said: "I was honest in my assessment after the game, I shot straight from the hip like I would always try and do.
"We were defeated, rightfully so, we didn't perform to the levels which we would expect and we take our medicine and hope to move forward.
"I think everybody that has listened to me over a period of time will acknowledge that I believe in getting back to work.
"Once you have performed below standard, once you've had a bad result, we don't just sit and fester on it and feel sorry for ourselves and hope that somebody is going to give us a lift.
"It is about being a group of men and getting yourself back to work."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
