SIX GAME SEASON

Following the recent run of seven without a win, the team has half a dozen matches left to preserve Championship status for the club.

After eight tough months, we are essentially now down to a six game season.

For quite some time, it has been evident that we were going to be in a three-way battle with Arbroath and Hamilton, and the advantage we held over both rivals has been eroded in the second half of the campaign.

Accies got back in touch with an unbeaten run of five in January and February, and although they have picked up a solitary point from their last three matches, they go into the weekend breathing down our necks.

Hamilton have back-to-back trips to Dundee this afternoon and Raith on Tuesday night before our head-to-head with them at New Douglas Park next Saturday.

They then face two more away games, against Queen’s Park and Morton, followed by a double-header at home to Caley Thistle and Partick Thistle.
