Malky Mackay admits rock bottom Ross County were struck by a perfect storm after being hit for six by Hearts.
The Staggies boss believes a combination of his side being below-par against a resurgent Jambos was the cause of a scoreline which could have been far more humiliating. County have picked up just 12 points from 15 games on the road this season and languish at the foot of the table and Mackay insists it's a scoreline which his side need to quickly get out of their system.
He said: “We were way off it and Hearts were excellent; give them credit where it’s due. It’s happened twice this season. Earlier in the season against Motherwell at home where we were really off it, and that’s the second one. We’ve just got to get back on track again. We’ve come off the back of three good performances but everyone, to a man, was under par.
