Ross County FC can this evening announce that Derek Adams is to leave the club as First Team Manager after offering his resignation.

The County manager - who started his third stint as Staggies boss a few months ago - will leave immediately after the club accepted his resignation.

Chairman Roy MacGregor said, ‘We have agreed to accept his resignation in the best interest of both Derek and the club. We would like to place on record our thanks to Derek, and we wish him well for whatever he chooses to do in the future.’

Derek said, ‘After much consideration in recent weeks, I have made the decision to resign from my position as First Team Manager. Over my Twelve League games in charge, we moved 6 points clear of the team directly below and have been extremely close to gaining more victories and draws along the way. Ross County Football Club is close to my heart after twice playing here and managing for a third time. I would like to take the opportunity to thank Chairman Roy MacGregor and Steven Ferguson and wish them well for the future.’

Chance for Don Cowie until the end of the season maybe.

Let's hope this doesn't effect King's game time as Adams was probably the reason he went there

At the end of his loan, King would have played Hibs and Rangers twice, as well as Celtic, Aberdeen and Hearts. He's going to have played 2 games in front of 50/60k people. It is a good experience for him, regardless of the manager and he's still one of their better players. Hopefully Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen all stay in the bottom half as he'll play them again. It's extremely unlikely more than 1 of them will finish in the top half.

Hearts are nowhere near the bottom half, they are 3rd and 22 points ahead of Hibs in 7th.

On the subject of Adams, yes a bit dissapointing for King him leaving so soon into his loan as he obviously rates him but managers change all the time. Its part and parcel of being a pro footballer. One manager might fancy you, another doesnt. Its up to King to impress the new man.

Motherwell, Hearts, same thing

Motherwell, Hearts, same thing

Im not sure the Jambos would agree. Their gates are 3/4 times bigger than Motherwells.
