Mackay-Steven was recently released by Kilmarnock after a brief stint at Rugby Park, and he has now returned to County, where he started his career before departing for Liverpool as a teenager. 

"Ross County FC are delighted to announce the signing of Gary Mackay-Steven on a one-year deal," a club statement read

"Gary is an experienced winger with over 400 career matches with teams such as Celtic, Aberdeen, New York City FC and most recently Kilmarnock. He is familiar with the club, having come through our youth ranks before joining Liverpool at the age of 17."

County were recently relegated to the Scottish Championship after losing their survival play-off to Livingston. 

Manager Don Cowie expressed his delight at securing Mackay-Steven's services as his team bid to return to the top-flight at the first time of asking: "Gary is another great addition to the group as he makes his return to the club," he said. 

"He offers us good experience in the wide area of the pitch, and we are delighted he has chosen to head back up North for the next chapter of his career."
