Del Takes A Second Look At Sancho
Scottish Daily Record
DEREK ADAMS admits Ross County face competition in their bid to land ex-Dundee defender Brent Sancho.
The Trinidad and Tobago World Cup star, who was freed by Gillingham last summer, is on trial at the Second Division leaders for a second time.
But player-boss Adams, whose side entertain Brechin today, knows County aren't the only interested party.
He said: "I've played against Brent many times so I know what he's all about.
"He had a spell on trial with us earlier this season but was struggling with injury.
"But he's also trained with Millwall and Southampton and a Romanian club have had a look at him so we face some stiff competition."
County are nine points clear of Airdrie with a game in hand after Tuesday's 4-1 victory over Cowdenbeath and have taken 34 points from their last 36.
And they have the chance to widen the gap today with the Diamonds' game against Ayr called off last night due to a drainage problem affecting the Lanarkshire club's pitch.
But despite County's 12-game unbeaten run Adams insists there's still a lot of work to be done. He said: "We've been in superb formbut we've got to keep it going.
"We would love to go up as champions but Airdrie and Raith Rovers want to do that too so we just need to do the best we can.
"We still have to play those two so we've a long way to go."
Adams was delighted more than 1500 turned up to watch Tuesday's game despite a clash with Celtic's Champions League tie in Barcelona.
He said: "It would have been easy for people to stay in out of the cold and watch the Celtic game on TV but they didn't and that's fantastic.
"The players appreciated their support and the fans can play a major role for us during the run-in. It will be another difficult game against Brechin but it will different from our recent clash at their place.
"Their pitch is tight and the conditions weren't great but our own surface is excellent."
