Malky Mackay is still keen to add another fresh face to his Ross County squad before the transfer window closes on Tuesday night. The manager has overseen a significant rebuild of the

Staggies squad since taking charge earlier this summer, and while he is happy with the work he has done so far, he is still hopeful of further recruitment in the coming days. He said: “We’re

going to try and get another one in but we won’t do anything just for the hell of it. If we can get one to fall for us then we will, but only if it’s the right one. If we can get another

one in this week, great – if we can’t, then hey-ho.” You may like Mackay added Jack Baldwin earlier this week and believes the experienced 28-year-old centre-back will help shore up the

to add to the group. “He’s a permanent signing as well which is a big thing. We’re in a situation where we’re having to take in a lot of loan players as well so to actually get a permanent

signing in the door that’s going to be our player for the next couple of years is really good. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. “He’s a good

age – at 28, he has experience but is still young. I’ve had a good conversation with him and he’s a well-rounded young man. I think he’ll be a good addition.” After an arduous start to the

season, which has included a significant squad overhaul, a Covid-19 outbreak and a formidable opening to the cinch Premiership campaign, Mackay is looking forward to the international break

after Sunday’s clash with Aberdeen at Pittodrie. He said: “We’ll get a few days to do a bit of work but I also want to give the lads a bit of time, a bit of breathing space. “They’ve had to

deal with a lot since day one of pre-season which has been well documented so I think it’s important they get a few days with their families. “There will be a bit of work done and there will

also be a bit of time where they can go away and refresh themselves in that period.”
