"If we get the same support and backing that we did today against Kilmarnock on Tuesday from the fans that turned up then it really is like a 12th man.

"It is said willy nilly at times but they were superb today.

"They've had a difficult season. If we can get the same turnout and backing then we aim to put a performance on and make sure we're safe."

In a bid to increase the gate at Fir Park on Tuesday, the club is letting season ticket holders bring a friend to the match for free.
