Ross County win dramatic play-off

Staggies retain cinch Premiership place on penalties

Ross County will again be playing top-flight football next season after an incredible comeback against Partick Thistle in the cinch Premiership play-off final.

The Jags led 2-0 from the first leg at Firhill on Thursday and looked set for promotion when Aidan Fitzpatrick scored shortly before half-time to increase their lead.

In an incredible match played in glorious sunshine in the Highlands, Yan Dhanda pulled one back from the spot in 71 minutes and Simon Murray struck 60 seconds later.

George Harmon made it 3-1 on the day and 3-3 overall when he scored in the first minute of injury time and both sides missed great chances to win the game in extra time.

There were 14 kicks taken in the shoot-out, with Josh Sims converting the decisive penalty after Ross Laidlaw had saved from Ross Docherty as the Staggies prevailed 5-4 on penalties.
