Malky Mackay wants Ross County to kick-on from last season's relegation fight - despite the start of the new campaign being hampered by coronavirus. But despite relishing the task of helping Ross County develop, MacKay's initial plans have been hit by a coronavirus outbreak which forced the club to forfeit their Scottish League Cup games against Forfar Athletic and Dundee. "It's meant 15 players have left the club this summer, so it really is a change, we've got to bring more players in." Mackay is taking inspiration from St Johnstone's exploits last season, who finished fifth and won both the Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup. "As far as Ross County is concerned, we have to look up and onwards - there's a very strong Premiership this year so it's going to be difficult for us all."
