Ross County visit Cappielow today. The Staggies currently occupy first place in the division, the third club to do so this season, and probably not the last. What if Ross County gain promotion to the Scottish Premier League? A Ross County v Inverness Caledonian Thistle Premier League derby would be something. Unfortunately, Inverness are the leading candidates for relegation to the First Division.
