Going under the radar will suit Ross County says Callum Morris

Callum Morris reckons Ross County’s accomplishment in the Betfred Cup has been overshadowed by the furore over their fallen foes Celtic.
However, that suits the Staggies down to the ground.
County set up a Betfred Cup quarter final against Livingston by ending Celtic’s historic run in domestic cup competition, thanks to goals from Ross Stewart and Alex Iacovitti.
Vice-captain Morris was restored to the starting line-up for just his third 90 minutes this season at Celtic Park, thanks in large part to injuries.
With scenes of angry fans outside Parkhead stealing the headlines, he feels County have not got the credit they deserve.
Morris is not complaining about that though, as with Rangers visiting Dingwall on Sunday he is focused on using their Glasgow triumph as a catalyst to improve their form in the Premiership – where they have only won just once since the opening weeks of the season.
With the Ibrox outfit in formidable form, it will be a tough test, but after winning at Celtic, County believe they can beat anyone.
“We’ve probably not had the credit, but that’s part and parcel of Scottish football – the Old Firm take all the headlines,” 30-year-old Morris explained.
“In some ways, that suits us. We know what we’ve done and what we put in as a group and club. That’s what matters to us, and now it’s about taking the positives from that into the league campaign.
“In the end, plaudits don’t matter. It is about the impact it has on our confidence, and our performance levels.
“Our heads had gone down a little bit – the cups let you get away from the league and boost confidence.
“Moments like these, when they come along, have to be used as a catalyst. We won’t get carried away. It’s only one result, but a result like that can do a lot of good.
“We know what we have within the group, so if we can bring it all together, I can’t see why we can’t go on a bit of a run now.”
