Amadou Bakayoko

“We are up against a tough opposition on Saturday, it will be a testing match as they had a good win last week against Hibs. But we’ve done a lot in training this week, so we are ready to go and give a good account of ourselves and will go there with a fighting spirit.” 

 

Tony’s thoughts 

“It is going to be a difficult game. We went to their game on Sunday at Easter Road and I thought they were excellent, particularly in the first half where they got a two goal lead. The game changed in the second half, but they managed to get a winner and I was impressed with them. I think Stephen Robinson has done a great job there, getting them in the top six last season and they will have aspirations to do that. I know how difficult an opponent it is we are playing, they’ve got an identity and a playing style and we will need to be at our best on Saturday to get a result. 

“I thought the performance last week against Motherwell was really good and the performance levels were great. We’ve analysed it and there were a lot of things we did right in the match in terms of game plan and we are just looking to take that forward this Saturday and improve on it a bit.”
