History

On 3 August 2000, Boukraa flew to Scotland to discuss a deal with Greenock Morton. [11] However, four months later, he decided to leave the club and joined Ross County, [12] expressing dissatisfaction with Morton's directors. [13]

On his debut with Ross County, Boukraa assisted in a 2-0 victory over Ayr United. [14] However, he gained recognition for his performance during the 2000-01 Scottish Cup 4th Round match between Ross County and Scottish giants Rangers, despite Ross County losing 3-2. [15]

Earlier, the winger had mentioned that he would not be intimidated by their best players, as he had previous experience in the French Cup with top clubs. [16] Continuing his tenure for the 2001-02 season, [17] Ross County advanced to the 2001–02 Scottish League Cup quarter-finals with 2-1 win over Dundee. [18] However, despite these accomplishments, Boukraa and three others were subsequently released from the club. [19]

Thinking back to his years in Scotland, Boukraa stated, "There, everything is done to put the footballer in the best possible environment". [20]
