Cowie lambasts 'disrespectful' County fans

Manager Don Cowie says Ross County will "not tolerate" the "disrespectful" behaviour of some of their fans during a minute's silence on Saturday.

Jeering and several flares were set off in the Jail End stand in Dingwall before the side's Scottish Cup defeat at home to Livingston.

The silence was held in tribute to Scotland great Denis Law and also Gordon Seaton, who played for County in the 1970s and 1980s.

The Highland club said they are appalled by the behaviour of the small section of the support, with the police now investigating the incident.

"It's not something you want to see in football anywhere, never mind your own ground," County boss Cowie said.

"We don't tolerate that. It's disrespectful. I'm sure the club will deal with it in the appropriate manner."

Cowie expressed his disappointment at his team's cup exit and called on his players to respond when they welcome Hibernian at the weekend.

The County boss has strengthened his squad this month with the additions of Kieran Phillips, Nohan Kenneh, Zac Ashworth and Jonathan Tomkinson.

Cowie revealed it is "a bit quiet just now" in relation to further incomings, but "there are two players" who are in talks to leave the club.
