Ross County's Raffaele De Vita not yet dreaming of a top-six Premiership finish

County sit fifth in the Ladbrokes Premiership after five games after making a dozen summer signings - and manager Jim McIntyre is still chasing a new striker.

But De Vita is not getting ahead of himself before County's home clash with Dundee United.

The Italian said: "I hear a lot of people saying we are going to be a top-six side but that's not the way we are looking at it.

"It's good for us to take every game as it comes and just get points on the board. We can look at the league table in a few months.

"Right now we just have to win as many games as possible and get as many points as possible and keep going like that.

"We don't really want to listen to what people are saying."

County are aiming to get into double figures for points on Saturday - something they failed to do until after Christmas last season, after losing their first seven league games.

De Vita, who arrived at Dingwall in January, said: "It would be really, really good because first it's going to put us in a good position in the league and settle the nerves. A win on Saturday would be massive for us.

"We didn't want to be in the same position as last year where we went eight or nine games before you got a win.

"Even though we could have had a few more points, I think it's been a strong start. As soon as last season finished the manager brought in the players he wanted. He brought in a lot of quality so we are definitely looking stronger than last season."
