Ross County has won the Scottish second division and will be promoted next year with thanks to Petrie's playing and coaching skills.
Ross County became the Irn-Bru Second Division Champions at Victoria Park, following a 4-0 win over Berwick Rangers. Dene Shileds, Andy Barrowman (twice) and Paul Lawson getting the goals for County, however it was the news just a couple of minutes from the end that Brechin City were beating Airdrie Utd that brought the loudest cheers of the afternoon.
This was to be Countys 500th league game since joining the Scottish Football league, and another healthy home support turned out in atrocious wintry conditions hoping to see County clinch the league title. The only scenario that would see this happen would be a win for County over Berwick at Victoria Park, combined with Airdrie Utd loosing to Brechin City at Glebe Park.
Derek Adams went with a very attacking line-up for the team against Berwick Rangers, playing with four recognised strikers in Sean Higgins, Dene Shields, Andy Barrowman and Stewart Petrie.
This was reflected in the pattern of play too, as from the very start of the match to the end County did all the attacking while Berwick Rangers sat back defending going for damage limitation from the start.
