Ross County have parted company with manager Tony Docherty by mutual consent after Saturday's 6-0 Scottish Championship defeat by Raith Rovers. The Dingwall side - relegated from the Premiership after a play-off loss against Livingston last season - are bottom of the second division, two points behind Queen's Park in ninth.

What happened?

Docherty had been dismissed by Dundee as recently as May after a 10th-place finish in the top flight. He departs along with assistant Callum Davidson, leaving Ross County searching for their third permanent manager of the season.

Why it matters for Ross County

Previous boss Don Cowie left after a draw and two defeats began the Championship season, before John Robertson took interim charge for one game. The team's current league standing is 10th in Championship, 34 pts, 8W-10D-18L from 36 games.

What comes next?

Ross County will provide a further update to supporters in due course. The team's recent form has been LWWLL, with 36 goals scored and 57 conceded (-21 goal difference) this season.
