Ross County ace Stuart Golabek insists that he has no plans to leave Victoria Park. Premier League Aberdeen and Dunfermline are among a host of clubs who have flocked to Dingwall to watch the stylish defender.
But Golabek stresses County's Neale Cooper is the only boss he is trying to impress. He said, "The gaffer is brilliant and I'm real happy playing for him right now. There's agreat atmosphere at the club and that's down to Neale."
Cooper keeps his 22-year-old full back aware of all interest from other clubs. But Golabek wants his next move to be with County - to the Second Division.
"The Boss has told me that a few clubs have made enquiries about me but I haven't given a move any thought. There's no point thinking about it until it something happens."
"All I am interested in right now is helping County to promotion. We are on the right course after making such a good start and we must keep it going."

Ross County are lining up a surprise move to sign Aberdeen reserve goalkeeper Nicky Walker. The bid follows concern over the consistency of County's 19-year-old Kevin Morgan
Walker, who has strong links with Elgin, has been frozen out at Pittodrie since last season when Jim Leighton arrived.
Neale Cooper wants the 35-year-old, who had spells at Hearts, Rangers and Partick Thistle, to follow in Duncan Shearers footsteps and finish his playing career closer to home. Walker has a Loretto connection in that his cousins Jamie and Bryony attend Loretto School, the home of Lorsports
Cooper confirmed his interest, but remained tight-lipped on the move saying, "We are always looking to strengthen our team. There is interest, but it is not definite.
