NEW Ross County manager Owen Coyle may be tempted to beef up his squad sooner rather than later.

Coyle took charge at Dingwall on Thursday after the surprise departure of Jim McIntyre and got his reign off to a dream start with a 2-0 win at Kilmarnock on Saturday.

However, the former Burnley manager is keen to add to his squad and will look to strengthen before the January window.

“Everyone has their own flavour of player, and my flavour is probably different from other managers

in what we like in a team,” he said. “So if we can look to add even between now and the window, with some free agents that I think can help us, then the chairman has intimated that he will certainly try and help me do that.

“But in the meantime it’s only fair that I give this group the chance in the coming month or so to see what they’re all about.”

That current group made a fine start to Coyle’s tenure.

Craig Curran and Kenny van der Weg on the scoresheet as the Staggies recorded their first win since the opening day of the season.

Coyle will now have two weeks to work with the players as the Ladbrokes Premiership takes a break for international fixtures, and he is looking forward to getting to know his squad.

He said: “Had we won, drawn or lost the game it doesn’t change the programme I have, because the international break is important to us.

“It’s valuable time to work with the players on a daily basis and get to know them as characters.”
