Ross County FC history

Ross County FC is a Scottish professional football team who currently play in the Scottish Football League. They play their home matches at Victoria Park in the Highland town of Dingwall, Ross and Cromarty.  Founded in 1929, Ross County initially played in the Highland Football League where they won the championship on three occasions, in 1967, 1991 and 1992. They also gained a reputation for their good performances in the early rounds of the Scottish Cup, upsetting SFL teams on eight occasions. The most notable was on 8 January 1994, when they won 4–0 at Forfar Athletic. This result may have gone a long way towards their election to the Scottish Football League three days later. At the beginning of season 1994–95 the Scottish League underwent a revamp, and, following a vote on January 11, 1994, County were allocated one of the two vacancies in the new 10-club Division Three. In 1998–99 they were Champions of the Third Division and thereby won promotion to the Second Division.  Finishing third in their first season in the new division, Ross County were promoted to the First Division thanks to a reorganisation of the League, with the Premier League being expanded from ten clubs to twelve. After several successful seasons they were relegated back to the Second Division in 2006–07. Ross County won the Second Division in 2007–08, and were promoted back to the First Division. They reached the Scottish Premier League for the first time as champions of the First Division at the end of the 2011-12 season.  After a series of mid-table finishes, Ross County finished bottom of the Premier League in 2016-17 and were relegated. A highlight of this period was winning the 2016 Scottish League Cup after defeating Hibernian 3-1.  They were promoted back to the Premiership after winning the Scottish Championship at the end of the 2018-19 season.
