The club will hold a ballot to select 300 season ticket holders to attend the game in Dingwall.

The Joint Response Group informed the Staggies tonight they had been successful in gaining a second opportunity to welcome fans into their stadium for a home fixture.

A Ross County statement said: "We are delighted that the Scottish Government, SFA and SPFL have shown faith Ross County and our success in our earlier test event to allow us a second.

"Due to the Highlands being a Tier One health board area, we believe this gives everybody encouragement that this test event can follow in the successful footsteps of our pilot test event in September.

"Given the very short timescale we have to organise this, it will be a very difficult challenge but one we will embrace and work very hard to ensure we deliver a safe environment for our 300 fans.

"All fans will be housed in the East Stand and will follow the same protocols and procedures as the previous test event."

Ross County previously held a test event at the Global Energy Stadium on September 12 in the 5–0 defeat against Celtic when 300 fans were allowed in.
