Ross Docherty, born on 23 January 1993 (age 33), is a Scottish central midfielder whose game has generally sat on the practical side of the job. He is primarily used as a defensive midfielder, the sort of role that rarely invites much poetry and is usually better for it.
His most productive league season came with Dundee United in 2023–2024, when he scored three goals in 20 appearances. That was a decent return from his area of the pitch, without pretending it made him something he is not.
Docherty is now with Ross County. In 2025–2026, he has made one Scottish Cup appearance and has one goal across all competitions for the club. His market value is around £170,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His career has been that of an established Scottish professional: midfield work, useful experience, and a steady place within the domestic game rather than anything more dramatic.
