Ross County's Ferguson targets three points to increase gap to Premiership strugglers St Mirren

Ross County co-manager Steven Ferguson believes three points tomorrow could be a catalyst for a turnaround in fortune for the Dingwall club.

The Staggies have gone seven matches without a win in the Premiership, though still sit sixth in the league table thanks to strong form at the start of the campaign.

“One win can change your whole outlook,” he said.
