Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Global Energy Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Ross County and Hibernian. The Staggies are desperate to escape the relegation zone and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Hibernian. Both Eamonn Brophy and Jordan White are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while the likes of Max Sheaf, Will Nightingale, Scott Allardice, Dylan Smith, and Ross Callachan remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Meanwhile, the Hibs are eager to build on a 3-1 win over St. Johnstone. Even though Hibernian managed to regain a much-needed confidence at the weekend, home win should be considered as the relegation-threatened hosts want this win more than the visitors. Both Owen Bevan and Jake Doyle-Hayes are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team, while fellow midfielder Luke Amos is a major doubt as well as William Fisher who limped off with injury in the last league match.
Highlighted Team (Ross County):
Founded back in 1929, Ross County are professional football club that compete in the Scotland Premier League. The Staggies welcome their rivals at Victoria Park, the stadium which can accommodate up to 6,541 (all-seated) people. Ross County have a bitter rivalry with fellow Highlanders Inverness Caledonian, with the two teams facing each other in Highland derby.
The Staggies recorded their biggest win against St Cuthbert Wanderers (11-0) in the 1993/94 Scottish Cup round 1, whereas their biggest loss came in the third round of the 1961/62 Scottish Cup campaign, with the team suffered a 7-0 defeat to Kilmarnock. Michael Gardyne, who scored 71 goals in 392 appearances for Ross County, is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart.
Ross County have never won the Scottish Premier League trophy, but they did well to make it to the Scottish Cup final in the 2009/10 season. The Staggies were beaten by Dundee United (0-3) in the title game at Hampden Park, Glasgow.
