Stuart Taylor
“We are looking forward to the game. We know that St Mirren are a very good and experienced side. They are well organised and have players in there that know this league inside and out. We know it will be a tough game, but we will go out there and play well and try to come away with the three points.”
Luke McCowan
“They’ll be high as anything after their win against Hibernian away. They’re a good side and they press hard. They play similar football to us, but that doesn’t matter. We just need to focus on ourselves and how we can exploit other teams with our strengths. We will be using our positives to counteract them.”
