Time for me to sign off folks after watching Dundee United take the three points in the Highlands in what was a cracking five-goal thriller.
Join us again tomorrow for all the action on a busy day of Scottish football.
Thanks and good night.
ROSS COUNTY MANAGER JIM MCINTYRE
"First half we got into great positions and passed up some good goalscoring opportunities so that was frustrating. United showed their quality and we need to show a bit more belief, and do things a bit quicker.
"We were trying to be clinical but the final ball let us down and good teams counter on you quickly.
"That's the last three weeks we've went behind but we've shown we have a bit about us. We need to keep trying to improve the quality in the final third.
"We'll keep working away, we're certainly doing a lot of things well but we need to start turning that into results."

There's been a fair bit of debate on Sportsound about the red card for Liam Boyce, but referee Bobby Madden had no doubts and was quick to send the striker packing.
DUNDEE UNITED MANAGER JACKIE MCNAMARA
"It should have been more comfortable. Credit to them as they came back into it, even with 10 men, but we took our foot off the gas and stopped passing it as we should have.
"Disappointed with the way we finished but we have a few lads struggling with a stomach problem so I'm just glad to get it finished.
"I'm delighted for Nadir Ciftci, he's been frustrated of late with his goal tally but he was clinical tonight.
"That was a massive game for us and we had to win it. It's crying out for someone to do that [challenge Celtic] but we will need to be better than we were at times tonight."
Post update
DUNDEE UNITED DEFENDER MARK WILSON ON SPORTSOUND
"Credit to County, they kept plugging away and the twice they got a bit of quality they got goals."
Post update
So Dundee United leapfrog Inverness Caley Thistle to go second in the Premiership, while plucky Ross County remain at the foot of the Premiership table.

RED CARD (LIAM BOYCE)
Ross County substitute Liam Boyce is shown a straight red card for a studs-up challenge on Paul Paton.
GREAT SAVE!
It's that man Yoann Arquin again, racing beyond the back line and getting in on goal. He's having a personal battle with Radoslaw Cierzniak and this time the United keeper comes out on top with a fine save.
Arquin could have squared this match all on his own.
CLOSE!
The hosts almost haul themselves to within one goal of United as Yoann Arquin breaks away and takes the ball past keeper Radoslaw Cierzniak, but the striker gets the ball caught in his feet and the chance is gone.
This might not be over yet.

And United take the wind out of the County sails again with a blistering counter. Nadir Ciftci and Calum Butcher link superbly to set up Stuart Armstrong and he calmly rounds Mark Brown before slotting home. Fabulous goal.

KICK-OFF
We're underway again in the Highlands...
Post update
Dundee Utd defender Mark Wilson on Sportsound
"This game definitely isn't over. I like the look of the County wide men. As a full back, Joe Cardle looks a nightmare to play against, he's on the left but is coming in on his right foot. You don't know which way he'll go."
GET INVOLVED
Derek: "Are there really two players on the park called "Ross" and "Dingwall"?..... :)"
Post update
Get yourself a cup of tea as we await the second half. It's been entertaining stuff in Dingwall so far.

County started well but United have shown their clinical side and they lead through Nadir Ciftci's goal.
Post update
We're into the final minute of the half and United have another free-kick on the left but it's floated straight into the arms of Mark Brown.

Post update
United are stepping it up here...
CLOSE!
It's almost 2-0 from a United corner. Paul Paton delivers and Nadir Ciftci rises unopposed but his downward header is hacked off the line by Steven Ross.

Dundee United are on top in Dingwall thanks to Nadir Ciftci, who finished off a great counter attack from the visitors.
GET INVOLVED
Finn and Romy: "Two kids here, aged 9 and 8, watching their first game ever on BBC updates. One former DUFC mascot. Glued to it so far. C'mon United!"
CLOSE!
United look certain to double their lead as Nadir Ciftci and Chris Erskine link brilliantly to set up Stuart Armstrong with a great chance, but from a few yards out his effort is well saved by Mark Brown.
YELLOW CARD
Dundee United's Calum Butcher is cautioned for a challenge on Jake Jervis. Looked a tad harsh.
Post update
A Ross County attack breaks down in the final third and United hit them with a sucker-punch. Stuart Armstrong races forward, plays it to Chris Erskine and his delivery should be cut out by Paul Quinn. The County defender misses it though and Nadir Ciftci rounds the goalkeeper and rolls the ball home.
GOAL
Ross County 0-1 Dundee United (Ciftci)
Post update
County have another chance to pressure the visitors from a free-kick out wide. Joe Cardle tries one from the training ground but it's a bit of a damp squib and he eventually bangs the ball well over.
Post update
The best chance of the match so far falls to the hosts. Joe Cardle does brilliantly on the left, delivering a great ball into the box that's perfect for Steven Ross 12 yards from goal. He gets it stuck under his feet though and eventually fires a tame effort straight at Radoslaw Cierzniak.
Post update
Dundee United then set off on a counter with Chris Erskine leading the charge. The midfielder just keeps on going and has a pop at goal that Mark Brown parries then collects at the second attempt.
Post update
Joe Cardle is taken out by United's Calum Butcher just outside the box and Martin Woods' free-kick is hit with plenty of power, but it's straight at keeper Radoslaw Cierzniak
Post update
United have a free-kick on the left of the County box. It's one from the training ground but Nadir Ciftci takes it before the referee is ready. The re-take is fired well over by the Turkish hitman.
Post update
Youngster Tony Dingwall has made a bright start for the Staggies, and he delivers a tantalising ball across the face of United's goal where he would have expected a striker to be lurking. No-one there though and the chance is gone.
Post update
The hosts are knocking the ball about with plenty of confidence in the opening minutes here...
Post update
County threaten to get in behind the visitors but Jake Jervis can't latch on to the long ball.
Post update
It looks like someone's been doing a roaring trade selling gloves in Dingwall today.
KICK-OFF
The action has started in Dingwall.
Post update
And there is also a minute's applause in tribute to late Ross County manager Sammy Wilson.
The man in black, in the non-Johnny Cash sense, is referee Bobby Madden and he'll be leading the sides out in a few minutes.
ROSS COUNTY MANAGER JIM MCINTYRE
And here's what Staggies boss Jim McIntyre had to say to Martin.
"Graham Carey's good lady went into labour this afternoon so he's missing.
"We've had quite a bit of the recent games and made chances to win matches, now we need to make sure we take them. There's been a lot of encouraging signs, albeit we haven't got the results.
"We need to make sure we're threatening the goal and getting at Dundee United.
"We're close to lifting ourselves off the foot of the table and that would be a huge shot in the arm in terms of confidence levels.
"United are a good side, very dangerous on the attack, so we have to be at our best defensively."
DUNDEE UNITED MANAGER JACKIE MCNAMARA
Our reporter Martin Dowden has grabbed a word with United manager Jackie McNamara.
"Everybody's given me a real problem with selections but it's a good problem to have. Tonight was a hard decision but we have a really strong bench as well, should we need to change it. It took me to the last minute to make the decisions.
"If you want to be successful you have to have a strong squad and we feel we have that at the moment.
"Tonight we need to make sure we get within a point of Celtic and ask questions of the teams playing tomorrow.
"It's going to be a hard match tonight, we have to match them physically. If we start well I'm confident we can win the match."
Post update
We're just about to hear from both of tonight's managers...
JOIN THE DEBATE
The good people of Sportsound have been discussing the merits of Friday night football on tonight's show and it doesn't look like a particularly big crowd in Dingwall.
Let us know what you think on text to 80295, on Twitter at #bbcscotfootball and on our Facebook page.
United are motoring along nicely and have won four out of their last five in all competitions, securing a spot in the semi-final of the League Cup and a Scottish Cup fifth round berth along the way.
Post update
As for current form, Ross County have suffered back-to-back 2-1 defeats away to St Johnstone in the league and Scottish Cup following an impressive 3-1 win at Kilmarnock.

It's almost polar bear weather in the Highlands but a Friday night win would certainly warm the home fans, as the Staggies would move off the foot of the table for the first time in months.
There's plenty to play for as far as United are concerned as well, though. They would go second in the table with a victory.
Of course, both sides' Premiership rivals do not play until tomorrow.
