FLYNN: WE’LL RELISH TYNIE CHALLENGE
RYAN FLYNN can’t wait to hear the famous Tynecastle roar again.
But the St Mirren midfielder is determined to silence the Hearts hordes come full-time this afternoon.
The Buddies travel to Edinburgh looking to inflict a first home defeat of the season on Robbie Neilson’s high-flying
Jambos. And while Flynn is looking forward to sampling the Gorgie atmosphere for the first time since pre-pandemic, he is focused on helping the Saints end their fivegame winless streak.
He said: “Tynecastle is always a tough place to go.
“But we’ll be set up ready to make it tough for them. Our away form has been better than our home form so far this season, so hopefully we can continue that.
“Everyone can beat everyone in this league. It’s going to be another tough game for us but we’ll just focus on ourselves.
“Our performances have been good of late and we’re looking forward to playing Hearts. Everyone talks about the atmosphere at Tynecastle.
“It’s one our players who haven’t played there will be looking forward to especially. Ones that have, like me, are looking forward to feeling the intensity again.
“We’ll be trying to keep their supporters quiet and frustrate them.”
The former Sheffield United man, who made his 100th appearance for St Mirren in last week’s clash with Livingston, also insists his team-mates can’t just down tools.
He added: “You’ve got to make sure you win that midfield battle and try to control the game.
“You don’t just throw in the towel, you’ve got to keep working hard and you get your rewards in the end.”
