Josh Nisbet activates relegation clause to depart Ross County
Josh Nisbet has become the latest player to depart Ross County following their relegation to the Championship. Australian midfielder Nisbet joined the Staggies last summer on a three-year deal from Central Coast Mariners – but has opted to activate a relegation clause in his contract which sees him move on after only 12 months. Nisbet arrived in Scotland with a rich pedigree, having helped Mariners to a treble winning season in which he was awarded the Johnny Warren Medal as the best A-League player that campaign. The diminutive 5ft 3in midfielder, who has three Australia caps, made 29 starts for the Staggies and 10 substitute appearances. He netted four goals for County – with the last of those coming in his final appearance in the play-off second leg defeat to Livingston which ultimately relegated the Dingwall side. After leaving Victoria Park, Nisbet is now free to make the switch to another club. Nibset joins Scott Allardice, James Brown, Ryan Leak, Alex Samuel and Logan Ross, who have all left the Staggies in recent days.

Dundee linked with swoop for Ross County marksman Ronan Hale
Dundee have been linked with a move for Ross County striker Ronan Hale. The 26-year-old scored 18 goals in his debut Premiership season but could not prevent the Staggies from dropping to the Championship. Now the Northern Ireland call-up is reportedly drawing a long list of suitors with the Dark Blues among them. Dundee's movements in the transfer market have ramped up with Monday's unveiling of new head coach Steven Pressley. And, according to the Belfast Telegraph, are looking to add a proven Premiership goalscorer to bolster their attack alongside another former Staggie, Simon Murray. Competition for Hale's signature is fierce, however, with Aberdeen also among the clubs linked. Also in the mix are League One sides Luton Town – who were a Premier League outfit just over a year ago – Wigan Athletic and Port Vale. Hale scored six goals in the final eight matches of the past season and is contracted to Ross County until 2027.
