Derek Adams sacked at Ross County

Scottish Premier League side Ross County on Thursday sacked manager Derek Adams following a poor start to the season that has seen them anchored at the bottom of the table.

"Ross County FC and their Manager and Director of Football, Derek and George Adams, have come to an agreement, whereby they will part ways, effective from today," the Highland club announced on their website.

"Chairman, Roy MacGregor wishes to recognise the contribution both have made to the journey that Ross County FC have made over their years with the club and wish both well in their future careers.

"Further details of the club's continuing restructuring will be made available as plans are ratified over the following days.

Ross County, who play in the small town of Dingwall in northern Scotland, have been in the top flight since gaining promotion in 2012.

But they only narrowly avoided relegation last season and have lost the first four games of the new campaign.

Adams had been manager since May, 2011 in what was his second spell in charge of the club.
