Derek Adams has taken up the Ross County vacancy once again as the former Staggies boss replaces Malky Mackay in the Dingwall dugout - after a 10-year hiatus from the Scottish game.
The 48-year-old left English League Two side Morecambe to pave the way for a return to the Highlands. Adams began his managerial career in Dingwall before joining Hibs as assistant but returned for a second stint that saw County win the Second and First Division titles, a Challenge Cup and reach the Scottish Cup final in 2010.
Mackay having left the Staggies over the international break as a result of his poor results in the league, it has left them sat 11th and now it's up to Adams to produce the goods for a third time and keep them in the top-flight. Club CEO Steven Ferguson said: "We are delighted to welcome Derek Adams back to Ross County Football club. He returns following a successful period in England and has led over 700 games as a manager across his career.
"He knows the Highlands and our club well; we look forward to seeing him build on the solid foundations laid by Malky and his staff over the last two years and believe that Derek inherits a talented playing squad that are capable of being successful in the SPFL."
The club confirmed Adams backroom staff will remain in the same roles they took up under Mackay.
