Ross County seal return to Scottish Premiership
Ross County sealed their return to the Ladbrokes Premiership in emphatic fashion with a 4-0 home win over Queen of the South.
Needing only a point to book their place back in the top flight at the first time of asking, a brace from Brian Graham and efforts by Ross Stewart and Joshua Mullin ensured they won the Championship in style.
Victory took the hosts nine points clear of second-placed Dundee United, who have only two games left to play.
Stewart opened the scoring in the 29th minute with a glancing header from the impressive Mullin’s cross.
Mullin was the provider again in the 50th minute, whipping in a cross following a short corner for Graham to this time head home.
Mullin got the goal his performance deserved five minutes later as he scored the pick of the goals with a fine low strike from outside the area.
And Graham headed a fourth with 10 minutes to go, Tom Grivosti this time with the cross, as County wrapped up the title.

We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
