Ross County have announced the departure of manager Derek Adams after he spent three years in charge following his return for a second spell as coach.

The Staggies have had a poor start to the Scottish Premiership season having failed to win any of their four games.

As a result of falling to the bottom of the table, the club have decided to take action, with director of football George Adams also leaving the club.

A statement from Ross County on their official website said: "Chairman Roy MacGregor wishes to recognise the contribution both have made to the journey that Ross County FC have made over their years with the club and wish both well in their future careers.

"Further details of the club's continuing restructuring will be made available as plans are ratified over the following days."

Adams, who rejoined the club in 2011 following a three-year spell from 2007, helped guide County to the First Division title in 2012.
