Don Cowie has been appointed as interim manager of Ross County.
The decision comes after Derek Adams quit as manager yesterday.
In a statement on social media, Ross County outlined the long affiliation Cowie has with the club.
They said: "Ross County FC can confirm Don Cowie has been appointed as interim manager.
"Don has a long affiliation with the club making over 190 appearances and has been assistant manager of the club under Malky Mackay and Derek Adams."
It remains to be seen if the former Scotland midfielder, 40, who began and ended his playing career with the Dingwall club either side of spells with Inverness, Watford, Cardiff, Wigan and Hearts, will be considered for the role permanently.
Adams took seven points from his first three games in charge but then managed just two points from his last eight league matches, leaving Ross County second bottom of the cinch Premiership, six points clear of bottom club Livingston and five below 10th-placed St Johnstone with a game in hand.
His last game in charge was Tuesday's 5-0 loss away to Motherwell.
In addition to poor league form, County also suffered a 3-0 home defeat by cinch Championship side Partick Thistle in the Scottish Cup last month.
That result means they are idle this weekend before returning to action with a daunting trip to title-chasing Rangers next Wednesday.
