County 'dug in deeper' to force 'positive' result
Ross County will "take luck when it comes" says Ronan Hale after his 95th-minute penalty at Livingston provided a lifeline for Monday's Scottish Premiership play-off final second leg.
Hale blasted County level with one of the last kicks of the first leg on Thursday night, ensuring the sides are level for when they meet again in Dingwall.
"We knew it was going to be a tough place to come," the striker told BBC Scotland.
"Conceding right on half-time wasn't ideal, but we stuck in there and another 90th-minute penalty, we'll take our luck when it comes with it."
County survived Livi pressure and a stack of chances to leave West Lothian with a "positive" result.
"Sometimes we've just got to dig in there," Hale added.
"They were the home team. We came knowing they were going to be all guns blazing and they got their goal.
"They could have held on for it, but to be fair, they kept going, but it's about the boys. We dug in deeper and we've brought a positive result come Monday now."
Though County haven't won at home since 1 March, Hale is confident his side are now "on the up".
"It was a tough run of form, we lost a load in a row, but we're on the up again," he added.
"We left it too late to hit form but there's still time to get it over the line and we're looking forward to Monday night after the late goal."

Ramsay returns after month out with mystery virus
Richie Ramsay is looking forward to "having that purpose again" after being "floored" by a mystery virus that ruled the Scot out of his last three tournaments. The 41-year-old, who suffers from an ongoing autoimmune issue, was away from all things golf for around four weeks after he took unwell following the Hainan Classic in China. Advertisement After missing tournaments in Turkey, Belgium and Austria, the Aberdonian will return to action at this week's KLM Open in Amsterdam. "I picked up some viral issue and it has kind of knocked me for six," Ramsay told BBC Scotland. "My immune system is a little bit compromised and, whatever it was, floored me. "Pain, shivers, especially in your muscles, no energy, a lot of time in bed and it got to the point where I couldn't shift whatever it was, so I managed to get on something that made me feel better." Ramsay, who is a four-time winner on the DP World Tour, explained that he would normally be in the gym during breaks from the tour. Advertisement "That still feels like it fulfils your purpose and gives you that dopamine hit with the exercise," he said. "I'm looking forward to getting back, having that purpose again and that competitive edge." However, Ramsay is taking travelling as a professional golfer with an autoimmune issue all in his stride. "It is not really a big deal, I have just got to manage it," he added. "I have got an underlying issue, which is more common than you would think. "It just means that sometimes my immune system isn't as strong as other people's, so with regards to that, I just need to be even more wary of what I do and how I take care of myself."
