Ross County have told Premiership suitors they are wasting their time as they attempt to lure Thurso teenager Gary Mackay Steven away from the First Division club. English sides have joined Scottish Premier League scouts in the stands to monitor the 16-year-old County youth prospect. Mackay Steven is a regular Scotland's under-17 side and he is already training with the Dingwall first team squad. Director of football George Adams is predicting a bright future. He said: "Gary is a player who excites me and that doesn't happen often. He's got a fantastic chance in the game. He was called up by Ross Mathie for the Scotland under-17s earlier this month and it is recognition of some superb performances for our under-19 team.
"He was outstanding recently against Stenhousemuir last week and several Premiership clubs are watching him, along with SPL sides. English clubs have spoken to me about Gary and Inverness have made an approach. He's a young player we want to cherish and see develop with Ross County but it would appear that he may have to move on soon."
