Cowie on new arrivals, injury updates & Celtic challenge

Ross County manager Don Cowie has been speaking to the media as his side prepare to host Celtic on Saturday.

Here are the main points:

• Cowie says nothing is happening right now on the transfer front but insists "we're always looking, we want to strengthen" and admits his squad are "a bit light" in terms of personnel.

• After a positive few weeks for County, Cowie stresses the importance and difficulty of maintaining the good run.

• On the challenge of facing the league leaders, the Staggies boss says "it doesn't get any bigger than Celtic coming here" but insists his players are feeling confident.

• On Ryan Leak's injury, Cowie says the whole squad is "devastated for him" but adds that he had surgery on Tuesday and the players are ready to "rally round him".

• On Nohan Kenneh's return, Cowie admits he was "really keen" to get the midfielder back - "he had no football at Hibs this season so he was really keen to come and I think everyone can see the impact he's had".

• Cowie is also excited about the arrival of striker Kieran Phillips, who is "a different profile" to the club's other attackers.

• Goalkeeper Jordan Amissah, who extended his stay with the Staggies has "grabbed his opportunity really well", according to the County boss.

• On potential outgoings, Cowie admits there could be "a knock-on effect" with players coming in but stresses that his side are still "light on bodies" so they will wait and see how things play out.

• On the injury front, Eli Campbell and Will Nightingale are back in full training.

• County "won't get carried away" with their good run but Cowie is pleased to have "got rid of the hoodoo away form home" and says his team are now focused on winning games at home.

• The manager also thinks his side are "a more dangerous team" as they've been getting goals from players all across the pitch, which all boils down to the confidence that's been growing.
