Ross County Dismisses Tony Docherty Following Devastating 6-0 Defeat
Ross County has officially terminated the contract of manager Tony Docherty after a disappointing 6-0 loss to Raith Rovers in the Scottish Championship. This decision comes as the club struggles at the bottom of the second tier of Scottish football.
Team’s Current Standing
The defeat on Saturday marked Ross County’s third consecutive loss in the Championship. The club currently sits at the bottom of the league table, two points behind Queen’s Park, who are in ninth place. Throughout the season, Ross County has managed only two league victories.
Managerial Changes
Docherty’s management tenure has been tumultuous. He was dismissed from his previous role at Dundee in May after finishing in 10th place in the Premiership. His time at Ross County has also been marred by poor performance, leading to a rapid exit along with his assistant, Callum Davidson.
Previous Managerial Shifts
- Don Cowie left after a series of disappointing results, which included a draw and two defeats.
- John Robertson served as the interim manager for a single match.
Club’s Statement
Ross County expressed gratitude towards Docherty and Davidson for their contributions. The club stated, “We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to both Tony and Callum for their efforts during their time at the football club.”
Next Steps for Ross County
The club is now tasked with finding its third permanent manager of the current season. An update will be provided to supporters as discussions progress.
