Cowie on winless start, Murray return & injury updates

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

Here are the key points from his press conference:

• The performance in the last-gasp defeat by Aberdeen before the international break was "was more like us, we were a team, we played together".

• Cowie was pleased to limit a Dons team in "red-hot form" to few opportunities and while disappointed to come away with nothing, wants to build on the display.

• Despite County's winless league start Cowie is impressed with how his side are progressing and says they are "in a good place" for the return to action.

• Having made 12 signings in the summer window, Cowie is pleased with his "really competitive squad and options for every position".

• Dundee have been "really consistent" under Tony Docherty and the Staggies boss is anticipating a tough game.

• On Simon Murray returning to Dingwall, Cowie says County "will have to be on guard, he's a real threat, with sky high confidence".

• Ricki Lamie is out and Will Nightingale is a doubt. Max Sheaf, who has been out since April with a thigh injury, is back in training.
