Jack Ross: We'll give our all

Jack Ross: We'll give our all

Jack Ross has praised the St Mirren support and vowed that the side will give them their all tomorrow when they face Hibernian. 

The Saints travel to Easter Road tomorrow knowing a win or a draw will be enough to avoid the play-offs. 

And while Jack confesses it's as tough a game as there could possibly be to finish with, he also has belief in his Buddies side to put in a performance that would see them ensure their status in the Ladbrokes Championship for next season.

Almost 2,000 Buddies are set to travel through to the capital to back the team and the gaffer believes they have played a huge part in the club's recent upturn in form.

Speaking on the level of support the team has received, Jack told stmirren.com: "I think it has been evident how much they have helped the players over these 'must-win' games both home and away.

I think they are enthused by the team that they have got playing for them at the moment. But equally, if you speak to the players they will tell you how great the support has been, how much it has helped them, how much it has helped drag them through games.

"On Saturday, when you are going into the Lions den to an extent, they'll be vocal, they'll be noisy and they will know that we will give them absolutely everything on the pitch.

"I think because of the support we are taking it'll make it a competitive atmosphere and that sometimes lends itself to the game."

Saints season could be over come 4:45pm tomorrow afternoon and while Jack knows how big a task it will be coming up against the Champions, he feels his side can finish the job.

I would like this Saturday to be the final match of the season for obvious reasons," he said. "It's been a demanding time for us over the last few months because of the importance and significance of every single game so keen to finish the job on Saturday. I believe that we can do so. I understand it's a difficult game but desperate to do so on Saturday. 

"I think because of what is at stake for us it won't have an end of season feel about it. I expect Hibs to be as motivated to win the game as they would be if it was a match to win the Championship. Everything is set up for it to be a terrific game and I hope we take what we need from it. 

"I don't think I need to worry about the players going there and not feeling like they can win the game," he continued. "They know what they are capable of at the moment. They know how they are playing individually, the form they are in and how they've come together as a team.

"We go there in the best possible frame of mind as we could be at any point this season. I think the occasion will suit us, the pitch will suit us, but we also understand how difficult a game it will be. We are going to the team that has deservedly won the league at their stadium when they are being presented with the trophy so from that sense it's as difficult a match as it could get to finish with."

Last weekend's win over Raith means St Mirren's destiny is in their own hands and the manager admits it will be good to go into tomorrow's match knowing that if they take care of themselves they will be safe.

It means throughout the course of the game if we are doing our job that we don't need to think about results elsewhere. It could change as the game goes on but it's good going into it knowing its in our own hands.

"It's testament to the hard work people have done at the club over the last few months. It's a good position to be in and we hope it's a position that ensures we maintain our status without going through the play-offs."
