Flynn: We have to make strong squad count

Ryan Flynn believes St Mirren's squad is as strong as he has known it - but he warned they have to make it count.

Flynn joined the Buddies four years ago in January and has helped them rise from the bottom of the Scottish Championship

to, currently, the top six of the Premiership.

Having reached two cup semi-finals last season, St Mirren's next target is to secure a top-six finish. Speaking ahead of today's trip to face Hearts, Flynn said: "It's really clear that the squad is really strong, especially this season, and we have to make it count. We have got people fighting for every position throughout the whole team. Hopefully we can do something good this season. "

The strength of the squad was evident when Charles Dunne replaced injured defender Conor Mccarthy during last weekend's draw with Livingston. "We are gutted that Conor is going to be missing for a period of time but Charles stepped in and was brilliant," Flynn said.
