Patrick Kluivert has emerged as a surprise candidate for the vacant Ross County managerial vacancy.
The former Barcelona striker has applied for the post along with ex-Barca youth coach Sergio Lobera, according to BBC Sport.
The Staggies are seeking a new manager after parting company with Derek Adams earlier this week, along with his father George, who was the club's director of football.
"I cannot believe the quality of applicants," Ross County chairman Roy MacGregor told reporters.
"We have had a really good response. That response five years ago would never have happened and it wouldn't have happened two years ago.
"The credit for putting Ross County on the map is back to George and Derek and I'd like to thank them for that."
Former Hibernian boss Terry Butcher has also been touted as a potential successor to Adams.
