WE'RE BROPH TO A FLYER

White on Staggies’ new strike partnership

- ALASDAIR FRASER

JORDAN WHITE is enjoying forging an instinctive understanding with Eamonn Brophy as Ross County’s form catches fire. 

The St Mirren loanee’s arrival last month has coincided with a much-improved five-game run of results, with Saturday’s 4-0 trouncing of bottom side Dundee United the latest.

Two wins, a draw and a slender but honourable away defeat to Rangers have been punctuated only by a poor away display at St Mirren with Brophy absent.

In the four games they have played together, the WhiteBrophy pairing has generated six goals between them.

The new Staggies striker has hit goals in the four games he has started, while White has grabbed three in those games to take his season’s tally to seven.

Brophy’s spectacular double and two assists for Yan Dhanda and White took Malky Mackay’s side up to 10th in the table on goal difference on a day they could have slipped to bottom.

White said: “Eamonn and I complement each other really well. It probably makes it a little bit easier for me in terms of giving defenders something else to think about.
