Former Reading loanee Josh Sims scored the all-important winning goal to preserve Ross County's Scottish Premiership status.

The 26-year-old played 18 times for the Royals in 2018/19 on loan from Southampton, but has struggled with injuries throughout his career.

Formerly an England youth international, the winger featured for the likes of New York Red Bulls and Doncaster Rovers.

Joining Ross County in February, the Dingwall side finished second from bottom in the top-flight and were forced to face Partick Thistle in a relegation play-off.

Trailing 2-0 from the first leg, Ross County scored three in the final 20 minutes to overturn the deficit and take the match to penalties.

The majority of the 4,500 crowd were to leave overjoyed after winning 5-4 on penalties.

Sims netted the spot-kick in sudden death to keep Malky Mackay's side in the SPL for the fourth successive season.

Partick finished fourth in the Scottish Championship, with Dundee the only side moving into the top-flight for next season.
