Keith Watson has vowed to silence “mouthy” Brian Graham and ensure it’s Ross County fans who have something to shout about in this week’s Premiership play-off final.
The Staggies skipper insists his side have no fear heading into the pressure pot against red hot Partick Thistle with their top flight lives on the line. Thistle have lost just one of 17 games under Kris Doolan and struck 16 goals in four play-off games so far with 20-goal Brian Graham leading the charge. The 6ft 2in striker is renowned for noising up opponents and claimed Thistle were looking to win promotion back to the Premiership to “shove two fingers up” those who “shafted” the Jags when they were demoted to the third tier after covid struck.
But centre half Watson, who played with the 6ft 2in hitman at County and Dundee United, knows what to expect. He said: “I know Brian well and get on with him really well. He knows what I’m about and I know what he’s about. It will be a good battle, when you are on that pitch friends go out the window.
