Ross County chairman Roy MacGregor admits the reaction to Malky Mackay’s appointment as manager has taken him aback. The former SFA performance director was confirmed as the new boss in midweek, just 48 hours after John Hughes was shown the door. ‘If the SFA employed Mackay, why can’t Ross County?’MacGregor said: “The reaction has really surprised me. “He was exonerated by the English FA, he’s been working for UEFA and FIFA and (ex-SFA chief executive) Stewart Regan did a full check for two weeks before he employed him for the Scottish FA. Hopefully someone will recognise that, if they need to get a team going, then John Hughes is the man.
