Ross County boss Don Cowie has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier Sports Cup second-round meeting with League 2 Spartans.

Here are the key points:

  • Cowie wants his side to improve on cup performances: "The goal is to get to Hampden."

  • The Spartans fixture is "challenging" and the Edinburgh club are in the last 16 "for a reason" after topping their group.

  • Cowie rejected unnecessary rotation claims and will "go with a team that gives us a chance of winning".

  • He described new striker Ronan Hale as a "breath of fresh air" following his stoppage-time equaliser versus Motherwell.

  • George Robeston's late introduction on Saturday was a "reward" for the 18-year-old after injury-hit start to life in Dingwall.

  • Neighbours Inverness CT "mean a lot" to Cowie and their situation is "really sad to see".
