Steven Ferguson Addresses Upcoming Rangers Match, Premiership Survival, and Post-Covid Club Landscape

County’s chief executive, Steven Ferguson, recently spoke with BBC Scotland in advance of Sunday’s Premiership fixture at home against Rangers. The key points from his discussion are as follows: Ferguson acknowledged that County has “already felt the wrath of Rangers this season,” referencing their 6-0 loss at Hampden in August. However, he expressed confidence in their home performance, stating they “fancy our chances against anybody at home.” Ferguson described the current Premiership season as the most challenging “in a long time.” He also affirmed his “committed” resolve to prevent the club from facing a third consecutive relegation play-off. Reflecting on last season’s 3-2 victory over Rangers, a result that derailed the Ibrox side’s title bid, Ferguson commented, “That day was just as important to us as it was to Rangers.” Regarding the general financial difficulties faced by most clubs, he remarked, “The landscape has changed since Covid. What’s important is that we live within our means.” Ferguson conveyed that the club is “really proud” of its accomplishment in having “brought Premiership football to the Highlands in 11 of the last 12 years.” He further added, “It wasn’t that long ago the two national trophies were sitting in the Highlands. We will be flying the flag until Inverness can get themselves back up through the leagues.”
