Skipper Jason Holt gave a special mention to the 700-plus travelling support who backed the team in the Highlands on Saturday.

As we approach the end of the year, the captain also made sure to thank all the fans who have backed the club brilliantly – home and away – so far this season.

He said: “The backing, right from the warm-up on Saturday, was different class. We greatly appreciate the support that the fans have been showing us.

“I must give a special mention to everyone who has backed us superbly. From day one they have bought into everything the manager and the club is trying to do and the direction we’re trying to push in.

“We’ve got to be happy with where we are. We’re in a healthy position but we want to kick on and get stronger.”

Jason was pleased with the grit and determination his team-mates showed in our 0-0 draw with Ross County.

He said: “We showed a different side to ourselves. It felt like we weren’t as free-flowing or smooth as in previous weeks, but we do need to show different sides to ourselves because no game in this league is going to be the same.

“There are times you need to battle and earn the right to play first, which was probably the case on Saturday.

“It was a tough game and I thought Ross County battled well. In the second half, I felt we were more in the ascendency and controlled larger spells of the game.

“We had a few good chances that, on another day, we could have scored. We’re disappointed not to win the game but, when you strip it back, it could be an important point for us.”
