Davies urges struggling County to put on a positive show

- By ANGUS WRIGHT

Ross County captain Andrew Davies is focused on leaving Celtic Park with confidence intact ahead of two huge home games for the Ladbrokes Premiershi­p’s bottom club.

The centre-back accepts games against second-bottom Partick Thistle and Hibernian before the league splits are likely to have a more significan­t impact on their survival chances than today’s trip to face the champions.

So the former Middlesbro­ugh and Bradford defender hinted the performanc­e might be the most important factor in Glasgow. The 33-year-old said: “You just want to try to stay organised and get anything out of it that you possibly can. But it’s important we play well and get confidence going into the games that we know we can win. So going there and putting in a positive performanc­e is all that should be on the boys’ minds.

“If you can take your chances against Celtic, then you just never know. But our main focus is on going there, putting on a good performanc­e.

“The games coming up are massive. In the group we are really confident we can go and get some points against Partick and Hibs, two home games. They are definitely ones I think we can win.”
