Cowie has brought 'good moments' to County - Nightingale

Will Nightingale said Ross County have experienced "brilliant highs" under interim manager Don Cowie as they look to secure their Premiership status in the play-off final.

Cowie, who started his playing career at County in 2000, was appointed caretaker on 9 February following Derek Adams' dismissal and has won four of his 15 matches in charge, including a first-ever victory over Rangers.

As the Dingwall side prepare for Thursday's first leg at Raith Rovers, defender Nightingale said: "We have had that disappointment there, but at the same time we've also had some brilliant highs within the past couple of months - especially since Don has come in.

"He's brought so many good moments to the fans and the club and he's just reinstated that, hit that reset button. The squad's in a good place and we're feeling positive and we just need to make sure we bring our best and we believe in ourselves."

Nightingale hit the woodwork twice in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Aberdeen where a win would have made County safe.

"We were very disappointed, we won't deny that, we're honest lads," he added.

"The first one was probably a bit unlucky and then the second one, I must have played it over in my head about a thousand times - why I didn't up it at that corner, this way, that way?

"I back myself to score those situations. I'm disappointed but I have an opportunity to put that right Thursday and I'll be doing everything I can to make sure that happens."
