Jim McIntyre has called on Brian Graham and Alex Schalk to help him forget about losing his 23-goal Ross County strike force.

Top scorer Liam Boyce is set to miss the next four weeks with a broken hand while fellow forward Craig Curran was forced off after just 18 minutes of the Highland derby loss to Inverness CT.

Boyce has hit 17 goals in all competitions for the Staggies while Curran has chipped in with seven of his own.

In April both Boyce and Curran extended their deals with County until the summer of 2017 and McIntyre isn't concerned by any interest from other clubs in their Northern Irish attacker.

He told STV: "I'm not surprised if teams would be looking at Liam given his goal tally and overall play this season but he's under contract here and we hold all the cards on that one.

"They've scored 23 goals between them so that's a hell of a blow but we have got Brian and Alex, who are good players who have been waiting patiently.

"It's up to them to take that opportunity.

"When the two strikers have been doing ever so well and you are sitting patiently on the sideline, you are waiting for an opportunity whether it's loss of form or injury so those two have it and it's up to them to make their mark."
