Stenhousemuir 2 Ross County 2
Ross County boss Neale Cooper has told Dingwall fans not to expect major changes for next season's First Division challenge.
The Highlanders fell to third in the final Second Division table after drawing at Stenhousemuir, but Cooper says he will stick by his current squad next term.
He said: "I've brought in a lot of players over the course of this season and it has taken a while for them to gel.
"We may bring in the odd player, but if that happens then unfortunately we will have to let others go, but I don't think there will be a great deal of changes over the summer."
The home side took the lead in 31 minutes when David Wood's shot took a deflection off Kenny Gilbert. The Visitors levelled seven minutes after the restart when keeper Walker hit a free kick from just outside his own box. It found Alex Bone who advanced to beat Lindsay Hamilton from 10 yards.
Four minutes later County went ahead when Paul Kinnaird's cross from the right was headed down by substitute Derek Holmes and George Shaw scored.
With 71 minutes on the clock the home side levelled when Martin Mooney hit a 30-yard free kick past Walker.
