St Mirren clash 'perfect' for Kilmarnock to 'bounce back'

Stuart Findlay hopes a sell-out away support can help inspire Kilmarnock to securing a fourth-placed finish at St Mirren this weekend.

The Ayrshire side travel to Paisley with a six-point advantage over Saturday’s opponents and know a win would mean they are officially out of reach.

"From what I've heard, Kilmarnock have sold out the away end already so it is going to be a massive game for both teams," centre-back Findlay said.

"It is up to us to try to cement that fourth position. [St Mirren and us] have been very close to each other and so far we have come out on top with two wins in three games."

Kilmarnock will make the trip to St Mirren on the back of a heavy 4-1 defeat to Rangers, during which they were reduced to 10 men after going a goal ahead.

"I think there were parts of the game, even with the 10 men, we know we have to do a bit better," Findlay said of Sunday's defeat.

"But I think the boys can be proud of the effort they put in. It is a hard place to go as it is, without going down to 10 men.

"It is a tough one to take. It is the heaviest defeat we have had (this season) and it is a bit harsh on us, but we have a really big game next, a perfect one to bounce back and I am sure we will do that."
