DON COWIE says his first task will be to restore "a calmness" to Ross County after a stormy 79 days under Derek Adams.
The Premiership club confirmed it was not actively looking for an alternative candidate after naming club legend Cowie as interim manager for an unspecified length of time.
The 40-year-old, with a hugely successful past club and international playing career at club and rich coaching experience at County, declared himself ready for his first big frontline post.
Having coached the first team under Stuart Kettlewell and then John Hughes, Cowie served as assistant under both Mackay and Adams.
A respected figure with the players, he will look to unite the squad after a short but controversy-strewn spell under Adams.
Cowie's predecessor, back for his third stint in charge at the club, caused uproar with post-match pronouncements.
