| With bottom dogs the Bairns now only four points adrift of Saints, the Perth men need victories on the board quickly and they’re aiming to secure one when St Mirren call in at McDiarmid Park tomorrow.
Saints don’t have their injury woes to seek. Martin Hardie, Andy Jackson, Steven Milne, Collin Samuel and Kevin Rutkiewicz are all out injured, with Hardie and Rutkiewicz set to be sidelined for some time.
Danny Grainger and Stuart McCaffrey are doubtful and manager Derek McInnes is urging everyone to “pull together and show determination”.
He added, “No-one ever said this league would be easy and we’ve got to get going again.
“Our last two home results, a draw against Hamilton and a defeat from Kilmarnock, have been disappointing.
“We were the better team on each ocaasion and the effort has been there.
“Now we must win and give a good performance against St Mirren.
“We may be nearer the bottom of the league than we want to be, but don’t rule us out.”
Meanwhile, the club have released a DVD which chronicles the history of the club.
The 90-minute DVD is narrated by broadcaster and Saints fan Stuart Cosgrove and includes interviews with people who played an important role in the club’s history. |
