Stuart Kettlewell recalls Steven Ferguson helping him pack his belongings into bin bags after watching on as he was sacked at Ross County two years ago.
But don’t think for a minute the new manager of Motherwell bears any grudges towards his old mucker and County chief executive as he heads back to Dingwall for the first time as an opposition boss this weekend. Any suggestion would be utter garbage.
Kettlewell admits he spilled blood with Ferguson as they stood shoulder to shoulder as County co-managers for two years that brought relegation, immediate promotion back to the Premiership as champions and Challenge Cup glory then ultimately the sack - for one half of the duo at least. Ferguson had moved upstairs to become chief executive months earlier but was in the room along with chairman Roy MacGregor the moment Kettlewell was relieved of his duties immediately after a 2-0 home defeat by Hamilton. However Kettlewell insists NOTHING will come between him and his best pal.
