Former Cardiff City Star Don Cowie Is Keeping It Real At Ross County

Former Cardiff City midfielder Don Cowie has done his bit for NHS workers in Scotland after challenging his Ross County teammates to a keepie-uppie competition.
County co-manager Steven Ferguson and sporting director Scott Boyd posted videos of their own skills – and Cowie took up the challenge.
He posted his own video and then tweeted: “I now challenge all my team-mates.
“For every player who posts a video, I will personally donate £50.
“That will go to the NHS workers who are doing an unbelievable job on the front-line trying to fight this coronavirus.”
Ross County players responded in style – and Cowie paid up a healthy sum which went directly to the NHS charities.
Former Bluebird Cowie, 37, had a frustrating time over 2019-20. He was ruled out for nine months and had surgery on a knee.
He made a new year return in the first team against Celtic and then faced Rangers.
Cowie, who combines his playing duties with coaching County’s under-18 team, is enjoying playing for home town club Ross, who he supported as a schoolboy.
