Jordan Amissah confident Ross County can finish the job in Premiership play-off
Ronan Hale scored a stoppage-time penalty for County to cancel out Danny Wilson's earlier opener for the Championship side at the end of the first half on the artificial surface in West Lothian. The Staggies' 23-year-old German goalkeeper believes that leveller was pivotal to their chances of tasting success in the second leg in Dingwall on Monday night. Amissah said: 'It was never going to be an easy game, but we stayed in the game, it's a tie over two legs and we've done our job. 'Ronan scores a brilliant penalty, it's never easy, those games, but we've done our job, now it's all about going back to Dingwall, on our ground and performing. 'So, very confident, we've shown in the past that we're a good team, and it's about doing that again. 'We've been a Premiership club for a reason, that's what it's about on Monday, to turn up and get the job done. 'I think over the last few games we've played very good first halves, now it's just about performing for 90 minutes and making sure we're getting the job done, the boys leaving it all out there. 'It's just about finding the moments of quality up the pitch and getting goals, and I'm sure the defence and me will do everything we can to keep the team in the tie.' It is the third successive season that Ross County have had to use the play-offs for survival, after beating Raith Rovers and Partick Thistle in previous years. Amissah, who signed from Sheffield United in December, initially on a short-term deal but who is now contracted until 2027, said: 'The boys have been talking about it, obviously. George Harmon can't stop talking about his last-minute goal against Partick. 'And obviously since I've joined, I've had a look at those play-off games, as the boys told me they've been in them the last two years. 'The fans have looked unbelievable in those games and really backed the boys, and that's what we need of them again on Monday. Be behind us, get behind us, and we will leave it all out there. 'Of course, I want to be in the Premiership, I've signed, and I want to help the team to stay there. 'I think when I signed that contract we had been on a very good run. Obviously over the last few league games we've not been getting the results, which made us be in that position we are in now. 'But I will leave it all out there and try and help the team to stay in the league.'

New deal at 'magnificent' County 'felt right' for Amissah
Ross County goalkeeper Jordan Amissah says it "felt right" to extend his stay at the 23-year-old's contract extension will run until the summer of 2027 and he has hailed the club as a "magnificent" place to Ghanaian Amissah, who has kept four clean sheets in 13 appearances since joining on an initial short-term deal in December, said: "It's been quite a good time really ever since coming up."I've enjoyed my time here so far and it just felt right to extend my stay."I'm a big people person so it's for me being on the pitch, things have to go well obviously to get settled in. But it's the people around the club, especially the kind of club Ross County is [with] a lot of people making this club work and the staff, the boys in the changing room, we've got a very, very good group."The boys made me feel welcome from the get-go. Obviously I knew Kacper [Lopata] from my time at Sheffield United with him so it made it really easy. It's just been magnificent really, it's just been so easy and obviously playing as well, it's been a big help."The Staggies are four points clear of the relegation play-off spot and four adrift of sixth place, and Amissah is looking forward to playing Dundee United on Sunday as it is the only side he is yet to face in the top flight."We've been taking it pretty much game to game, there's no point looking to much ahead and thinking if we do this and this and this and then this can happen," he added. "I think it's the only team I've not been involved in a game against yet."Following Scottish football, you know Dundee United, it's a big club, so it's going to be an exciting occasion and I'm really looking forward to it."
