Cowie encouraged by Hale's fast start

Don Cowie says new striker Ronan Hale is proving why Ross County signed him after the forward netted two goals against Stirling Albion in the League Cup. The 3-0 win over the Binos saw County ensure a place in the knock-out stages of the competition, with Hale making it three goals in two games in his early County career. "He took his goals really well, especially the second one," boss Cowie told club media.
