Ross County announce Tony Docherty as their new manager

Ross County have appointed Tony Docherty as the club’s new manager.

The former Dundee boss replaces Don Cowie, who left his position last week following two defeats and a draw from their opening three league games in the Championship.

John Robertson took charge of their 2-2 draw with Dunfermline Athletic at the weekend.

Docherty spent two seasons at Dundee before leaving at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.

He was confirmed as the Staggies’ new manager on Wednesday.

In a statement posted on their website, chief executive Steven Ferguson said: “We are thrilled to welcome Tony Docherty to Ross County.

“He brings with him not only a wealth of experience and proven leadership but also a clear alignment with our club values and long-term vision.

“His commitment to embedding himself within our club and community gives us great confidence as we work together to secure our place back in the Scottish Premiership.

“We were hugely encouraged by the quality of applications we received during the process, and we would like to thank all those who expressed interest in leading our club.

“Today, however, marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter under Tony Docherty”.
