Ross County sealed their Scottish Premiership status with a 4-0 thrashing of Raith Rovers on Sunday in the play-off final to round off a 6-1 aggregate win.

County, who finished second bottom in the Premiership to enter the play-offs, needed a dramatic fightback from 3-0 down on aggregate to snatch survival against Partick Thistle at the same stage last season.

But this time the Highlanders could cruise to safety and a sixth consecutive season in the top flight.

Already leading 2-1 from the first leg on Thursday, Simon Murray put the home side in front on 19 minutes.

Jordan White's header from a corner early in the second period ended any hope of a fightback for Rovers.

Murray smashed home his 23rd goal of the season from outside the box before Brandon Khela rounded off the scoring four minutes from time.
