Ferguson confirms Mckay is out for the season

Ross County co-manager Steven Ferguson has confirmed that top scorer Billy Mckay’s season is over.

The Northern Ireland international hit the 20-goal landmark with a hat trick against Ayr United on Tuesday evening, but injured himself in scoring the third, breaking his arm.
