No Ross County were not at fault, but a pair of stags brought a stop to Fort William’s training session last night after running on to their pitch.
A video of the incident was posted on the club’s Twitter:

The wild animals are seen trotting across the grass and behind one of the goals.
Reaction
Social media has burst into a frenzy over the video with many people seeing the funny side of the matter.
One user made a rehash of the Tartan Specials song we’ll be coming saying: “We’ll be staging, we’ll be staging, we’ll be staging on the park, when you hear the trots of the staggies on park, well be staging on the park.”
Another tweet said the club approached the animals trying to offer them contracts but “they were two deer.”
It was also asked if the stags were “too antlered to carry on.”
