| Match Report | Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Cove Rangers 1 Ross County 1 ROSS COUNTY earned a well-deserved draw against Cove Rangers on Saturday, despite a setback in the ninth minute when Bavidge took advantage of indecision in the County defence to flick a free-kick from MacHardy over goalkeeper Suttar. In the second half, the visitors showed much greater urgency, and in the 68th minute, Don Mackay wove through a stationary defence to place the ball past Tait for the equaliser. Mark Watson of Cove Rangers was sent off for dissent, having previously been booked for an earlier offence. |
