Biography

11/11/2002 - 27/11/2002 Danny MacDonald

Danny MacDonald Stepped into the breach when Neale Cooper dramatically resigned as County coach in the late 2002. Danny was a well respected figure in North football circles, and it was quite a coup for Neale when he attracted Danny to work with him in Dingwall.

He was a obious choise to replace Neale temporarily until the club could find another manager. County has just lost at home to Inverness Caledonian Thistle, their third successive defeat when Cooper Left the club. The Next Game was an away trip to Falkirk that was hardly an ideal venue for a club in crisis. Danny took the players down south and fielded a pretty much unchanged side and saw the lose 2-0 again, although the general feeling had been that they left the pitch with some pride having given the Bairns a tough time to collect their three points.

Danny was to be in charge for just one more match, this time at home to Saint Johnstone, probably the next toughest tie the club could faced. County were well organised and fought hard to gain a 0-0 draw, the value of such a result proving priceless at the end of the season. The 1 point won and it`s later consequences more than masking the fact County did not score in the 180 minutes Danny had been in charge. The olny change the 2500 fans saw in the County line up that day had been Paul Deas not playing. Danny left the club when Alex Smith arrived.
