Can add to the hurt being felt at Ibrox
semi-final battle at Hampden. Carson said: “It gave us a laugh for a few days afterwards but football’s that kind of game where there’s a lot of impulsive comments after the game.
“It was two months ago. Much as I wish I could rewind to it and enjoy the feeling again of beating them to reach a cup final you need to move on.
“It’s just another game and a great opportunity for us to get a win on the board and kick on.
“It will be in our thoughts that Ibrox has been a difficult place for them recently – you look at every avenue for any advantage you can get.
“Playing in front of big crowds is great when you’re winning but if you’re not doing so well, especially if you’re maybe not used to that sort of pressure, it’s hard. They are quite a young side and maybe they saw Saturday’s game at Kilmarnock as an opportunity to get away from the pressure at Ibrox. But losing that game at Rugby Park has just mounted the pressure a little bit more.
“We know if we can frustrate them early on we can maybe get the crowd to turn.
“They’ll see it as an opportunity to put things right but we definitely believe we can get a result. But it’s up to us. It’s all right saying that but if you go there and find yourself two or three down after 20 minutes it becomes a hard day.
“So we have to have a game plan to frustrate them and there’s enough confidence among the group that we can kick on and get a positive result.”
