Amid all of the (rightful) euphoria around Ross County's play-off win, it was almost lost that 16yo Jamie Williamson made his senior debut and didn't look out of place. Here's County's head of professional academy Gary Warren take on the teenager.

One more word on just how good Declan McManus was today. For someone who hasn’t had a run in the starting 11 since the very start of the match, he was outstanding. Both of County’s goals were down to his hard work and creativity, and he was unlucky not to get a goal himself

Ross County working on two deals today. One is a loan that Malky Mackay rates as being 50/50 right now, the other he says is pretty much a done deal - but doesn't need to be done today/tonight since that one is a free agent. No names as yet, but will have something online soon.

Another thing to note on County today - last season Rangers conceded 13 league goals. The Staggies have scored seven in three games against them this season. This County side aren't just mentally strong when hit by setbacks, they're fearless and have quality going forward.

An intriguing addition to Ross County - someone who is clearly reliable in terms of availability and creative in the final third if last season is anything to go by - maybe even a dead ball specialist? Also has overcome serious injury to continue playing.

Striking how different that Ross County performance was tonight to years gone by. How long have we spoken about them being vulnerable to conceding a few when one goes in, even with 11 men? Not anymore. Stepped up a gear with 10 and they just seem to be getting better all the time

Said it to one or two people yesterday - if County got a home draw and avoided the Glasgow giants in the quarter finals, they should back themselves. It won't be easy by any means, but it's a huge prize at stake if they can win this one.

As ever, more on this later, but Malky Mackay is still hoping to pull off three more deals in this window - and he’s not hedging bets (ie he’s not working on one in case another doesn’t come off), he’s looking to get all of them over the line. Could be an announcement imminently.

After the way he ended the season, it's no real surprise to see Alex Samuel sign a new deal to stay at Ross County. If he can keep up the performance level he showed during the run-in, he could be a real asset to the Staggies next season.

Ross County fans, I'm curious. This week marks a year since Malky Mackay was appointed manager. There was obviously a huge reaction to his arrival, so a year on: what do you think about him now? Can go by any criteria, on pitch, off pitch, whatever.

There have been talks over a new deal for Regan Charles-Cook at Ross County. Doesn’t mean he’s definitely staying, or that he’s definitely going, but the league’s top scorer is clearly loving life in Dingwall right now. One of several the club are talking to about extensions.
