Cowie on Aberdeen, Rangers defeat & Dingwall advantage

Ross County boss Don Cowie has been speaking to the media prior to Saturday's league fixture against Aberdeen.

Here are the key points from his press conference:

• Acknowledges that his side "need to be better as a team" after defeat against Rangers, but says "it's a learning curve".

• Says the 6-0 scoreline was difficult and in a match like that they needed to do enough "to stop the bleeding in terms of conceding goals".

• He's spoken to his team about what they can do better and is looking ahead to a "really difficult but exciting" fixture against Aberdeen.

• Thinks the advantage lies with County because they've "been really strong" at Dingwall but believes Aberdeen have the "belief and confidence" after a good run of form in the league.

• Says he wants to show the fans a "reaction" and is not just focused on the result, but "it's about the performance" as well.

• There's "nothing imminent" on the transfer front and he's happy with the recruitment, plus the new signings are "eager, hungry to succeed and ready to make an impact".

• He's "delighted" to have Joshua Nisbett as part of the squad and says it was "important to give him a taste of the action against Rangers".
