Ross Stewart Wembley heroics earn Ross County five figure payday as Sunderland star heading back to the Championship

Ross Stewart's heroics for Sunderland are set to land Ross County a five figure fee.

And it looks set to be worth significantly more after he helped fire them back into England's second tier.
