00:00It was happy hunting for Harch against Ross County on Saturday as they continued their impressive Premiership form
00:08under Neil Critchley, a 2-0 win against the Staggies to move them into the Premiership's top 6.
00:15Harch came into the game against Ross County with a very good record against Highland Opposition.
00:19They may have drawn against them twice this season but they were going into the game on a run of 1 defeat in 17 games against this opponent
00:27and another win was paramount here to ensure that their top 6 bid maintained on the rails and it gave them also a massive advantage should results go their way.
00:38And that's exactly what happened. There was maybe one eye on the result at Fir Park with Mullow and St Mirren in action.
00:45Mullow started the day in 6th place, St Mirren also not too far behind.
00:50Those two played out a 2-2 draw which allowed Harch to take a march into 6th place, a point above Mullow and now a 4 point, sorry, above Ross County and St Mirren who occupy 8th and 9th place.
01:04This game got off in a controlled fashion from Harch, nothing too exciting but very dominant in the game.
01:10Benny Beningame, again the key man for Harch, brilliant turn to put in Elton Kabangu who made it 1-0 before half time.
01:18Harch didn't get that second goal right until late in the second half when Moussa Adrama came off the bench, a great ball across the box and he put in fellow substitute Jorge Grant and he made sure of the points.
01:29But even though it was only 1-0 in the game there wasn't any real doubt that Harch were going to get the 3 points after they'd scored the opener.
01:37Ross County offered very little in an attacking sense, Craig Gordon not having any saves to make of note.
01:43And now Harch go into the international break in a good place in the top half but with a tough challenge to come next time out against Celtic.
01:51And they will also have an eye on some of their players on international duty over the next couple of weeks, namely Craig Gordon who will likely be Scotland's number 1 and teenage striker James Wilson who has also been called up to Steve Clarke's side for Nations League matches against Greece.
