Rangers are in Dingwall on Saturday lunchtime and Mackay was granted a royal audience in the build up to the game.
King Charles has been telling Malky Mackay how to beat Rangers this weekend after a royal pep talk in the Highlands joked a smirking Ross County boss.
Mackay's men host Michael Beale's team in the Premiership's lunchtime kick-off this Saturday, sandwiched in between the Light Blues Champions League playoff first and second leg clashes with PSV. Ross County are hoping they can take advantage of any tiredness in the visitor's legs after a hard earned 2-2 draw against the Dutch giants at ibrox on Tuesday night.
But Mackay joked he's been getting some tactical advice from an unlikely source ahead of the game. The reigning monarch was visiting the Highlands this week and Mackay was given the chance to meet his royal highness by County chairman Roy McGregor. And the boss joked that the King, who's portrait famously hangs in the home dressing room at Ibrox, had some tips on how to get the better of Beale's boys.
He told Sky Sports: "Yeah, King Charles was actually up visiting Mr MacGregor at Nigg Port at the Global Energy Group headquarters. We were invited up so yeah, got to meet him and he was telling me a few tactics for the weekend." Asked whether there could be a royal visit to the Global Energy Stadium for the game, Mackay replied: "I don't think so somehow, I think he might be slightly busy."
