Ross County v Hearts: Pick of the statspublished at 13:28 28 OctoberRoss County have won just one of their last 20 Scottish Premiership clashes with Hearts (D11 D8), a 1-0 away win in March 2017. Hearts have won the fewest points in the Premiership in October (1 – D1 L3), conceding 12 goals, three more than any other side. County have won just two of their last 17 league games (D4 L11), failing to score more than once in any of those matches (8 goals scored). Only Antonio Colak (10) has been involved in more Premiership goals this season than Hearts’ Lawrence Shankland (9 – 7 goals, 2 assists).
County looked as if the bad form would be turned on its head when they came flying out the blocks to score within five minutes - only for VAR to rule Jordy Hiwula’s strike offside.  Yan Dhanda was imperative in the County midfield, as he controlled the waves of attack through his driving forward runs and range of passing.  It was ultimately a gulf in attacking quality that handed the Gorgie boys all three points, with Lawrence Shankland and Andy Halliday’s goals being perfect examples of what the Staggies seem to be missing - quality finishing.

The key player for the hosts, he stood out as the most creative player on the pitch. He assisted Jordan White's goal with a superb whipped cross and set up more chances than any other County player.
