With Shanks back, I'm hopeful we will offer more up top than we have done recently.

But our defence needs to keep it much tighter than they have done. A couple of 4-0 scuddings must have affected confidence somewhat.

I'm not overly pessimistic, but I'm definitely apprehensive. If we don't match St Mirren in every respect, then defeat IS a likely outcome.

Micky will have the game plan. The players need to be smart and deliver a good team performance.
