Ross County's hopes of avoiding back-to-back relegations are fading fast. The Staggies suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat at home to fellow relegation strugglers Airdrieonians.

What happened?

The loss has left Ross County bottom of the Scottish Championship, with a daunting task ahead to climb out of the relegation zone. Manager Stuart Kettlewell was scathing in his assessment of the performance, calling it the worst in the club's history.

Why it matters for Ross County

The defeat has significant implications for Ross County's survival chances. With four fixtures remaining, they have won the fewest games in the division and lost the most. They are also the joint lowest scorers and have conceded the greatest number of goals.

What comes next?

Ross County's next match is a crucial one, as they look to bounce back from the defeat and climb off the bottom of the table. They face a tough task, but a win could move them a point above Airdrieonians, albeit with the Diamonds having two games in hand.
