Founded well over a century ago, in the year 1929 to be precise, Ross County have held their ground within the confines of The Global Energy Stadium, nestled within the beautiful Scottish landscape. A neoteric monument to the beautiful game if there ever was one.
Looking to their roster, presently, Ross County fields a squad tallying sterling 30 players. These lads, if one were to crunch down the arithmetic, present an average age of forward-looking 25 years. The bloom of youth tempered with a touch of wisdom, one might say.
It's of some interest that the market has valued these highland performers collectively at what's nearing £5m, as disclosed by the thorough chaps over at Transfermarkt. Curious concoction of athleticism, talent and commercial forces; fascinating glimpse into the financial facet of football indeed.
For this season, the ambitious outfit has braved stages on three fronts. Tussling within the fast-paced march of the Premiership, securing the 10th position. Exploring the League Cup's opportunity-rich lands, reaching the second round. Finally, batting within the wide ground that is the Scottish Cup, stretching out till the fourth round. Quite noteworthy, one has to concede.
