Co-manager Steven Ferguson says Ross County will learn from the first half of the Premiership season as they try to steer clear of immediate relegation back to the Championship.

The Staggies sit just three points clear of the relegation play-off after picking up two wins in their last 14 matches.

However, there were signs of a revival at the start of last month with back-to-back home victories over Hibernian and Kilmarnock.
