Flying to Scotland on 3 August 2000 to discuss a deal with Greenock Morton,[10] Boukraa exited the Ton four months later to Ross County,[11] citing unhappiness with Morton's directors.[12] Assisting to beat Ayr United 2-0 on debut,[13] he was best known for his skillful performance during the 2000-01 Scottish Cup 4th Round between the Staggies and Scottish Premier League giants Rangers, despite losing 3-2.[14] Earlier, the wideman said he would not be vigilant of their best players as he had previous French Cup experience with top clubs.[15] Staying on for the 2001/02 season,[16] County advance to the 2001–02 Scottish League Cup quarter-finals with a goal to knock out Dundee 2-1,[17] but was eventually axed with three others.[18]

Thinking back to his years in Scotland, the Frenchman stated that "There, everything is done to put the footballer in the best possible environment".[19]
