County’s injury woes mount up as Grivosti faces two-month lay-off

Ross Count y defender Tom Gr ivos ti faces up to two months out after being hit with another injury blow.

Gr ivos ti suffered a hamstring problem not long after scoring in Saturday's 3-1 defeat by Kilmarnock.

The 21- year-old only returned from a year out with a toe issue last month.

Manager Stuart Kettle well said: "We are probably sitting with eight or nine guys that are injured. We pick up three more at the weekend on top of five or six who were missing on Saturday.

"Tom Grivosti is definitely out, we are looking at a tear of his hamstring, so that looks as if it could be maybe six to eight weeks, which I am gutted about.

"The other t wo were heavy knocks. Jordan Tillson came off and Regan Charles- Cook was limping pretty badly after the game, and still is."

Kettlewell declared S aturday's defeat as one of the worst in his 12 years in Dingwall after County struggled against a Killie team who played with 10 men for 82 minutes. And he has given his players a clear challenge for Sunday's Betfred Cup clash at Celtic Park.

Kettlewell said: "We speak about how hard the world is just now, people are paying to watch games pay-p er-view, p eople are desp erate to see their football team, and I didn't believe we got an application.

"I don't think we had a hunger and energy about us that befits the situation that we sit in just now.

"It's a tough game but a very good game to look forward to, and I think it's a great platform to show people you should be playing at this level."
