That means that there is a chance the title race could be done and dusted this weekend if results go in County’s favour.
United play Ayr United at Somerset Park tomorrow night, needing a win to guarantee the battle at the top goes on for at least another week.
If they fail to get three points, that opens up the door for the Staggies, who play Partick Thistle on Saturday.
