Founded in the year of the Wall Street Crash, 1929, Ross County has grown from its humble beginnings to make The Global Energy Stadium its home, nestled amidst the rugged beauty of the Highlands in Scotland. A far cry from the chaos of the financial markets of that era, one might argue.
With a squad steeped in youthful vigour, averaging a ripe age of 25, Ross County harnesses a refreshing blend of youth and experience with a tally of 30 players under its banner. These lads, armed with their skills on the ball and tactical acumen, represent an approximated total market worth of about £5m, according to Transfermarkt.
The Staggies, as they are fondly known, have certainly not been idle this season. Thus far, they've demonstrated their football prowess in three rather vigorous competitions. Onlookers bore witness to their tenacity in the Premiership, where they comfortably secured the 8th place. Meanwhile, the team made it to the second round of an equally challenging League Cup, and admirably manoeuvred their way to the fourth rung of the Scottish Cup.
It wouldn't be entirely overzealous to suggest that Ross County continues to carve out history in Scottish football, and indeed they are an entity to keep an eye on as we progress further into the season.
