'Fresh start' in Dingwall - Allardice

Ross County midfielder Scott Allardice will focus on the chance to embrace a fresh start after the shock of Malky Mackay's exit.

Allardice said: "Obviously last week we didn't really expect the news but we know football is very short term these days.

"It was hard for the players, it's never nice to see anyone lose their job.

"But it moves fast, football, and we have a new manager now and we want to kick on.

"Obviously it's a fresh start for everyone, the gaffer has made that clear.

"We are all excited to get going and hopefully push up the table. It's only been a couple of days but we have enjoyed it so far."
