Topics covered
In a tightly contested match at the Global Energy Stadium, Ross County managed to secure a valuable point against Hibernian, ending the game in a 0-0 draw. The Staggies demonstrated resilience, particularly in the second half, as they faced a determined Hibs side looking to capitalize on their attacking prowess. This result keeps County just outside the top six in the Scottish Premiership, following a recent comeback victory against Kilmarnock.
Ross County’s manager, Don Cowie, praised his team’s defensive efforts, highlighting their ability to neutralize Hibernian’s attacking threats. With players like Martin Boyle and Junior Hoilett in the Hibs lineup, the Staggies focused on maintaining a solid defensive foundation. Cowie noted, “We kept them relatively quiet,” emphasizing the importance of their defensive strategy in securing the clean sheet. The match showcased the team’s commitment to defending, as they absorbed pressure and limited Hibs’ clear-cut chances.
Throughout the match, both teams had their moments, but it was Ross County’s goalkeeper, Ross Laidlaw, who made crucial saves to keep the scoreline level. One standout moment came when Hibs’ striker Jordan White had a powerful header saved by Hibs’ keeper Josef Bursik, who was instrumental in denying County a goal. Cowie acknowledged the importance of these key saves, stating, “It was a really good save and really the one real save that their keeper had to make from us.” Despite the lack of goals, the match was filled with intensity and competitive spirit, with both teams pushing for a breakthrough.
As Ross County prepares for their upcoming match against St Mirren, the team will aim to build on this performance. With a focus on improving their attacking play, Cowie will be looking for his players to find the back of the net more consistently. The Staggies have struggled to win back-to-back league games since last December, and this draw could serve as a stepping stone towards achieving that goal. The upcoming fixtures will be crucial as they seek to climb the league table and secure a more comfortable position in the Premiership.
