Character will definitely be required tomorrow, Arbroath will be will up for a scrap and we've got to be prepared for that. No disrespect to Arbroath but we have the better players, the pitch and conditions will be a wee bit of a leveller given that Arbroath are used to playing there but really we should win if it comes down purely to quality. Unfortunately I'm not too sure that we'll have the heart to go toe to toe with them if it becomes a battle.

Arbroath have proven too strong for Inverness, Partick and Morton, three teams that took full points off us. That tells us we're in real danger of getting beat if we don't perform.

Totally agree Rev.

We need to understand that when we play almost every other team in the league see us as the "big" club and raise their game. No one will lie down for us. If players showed the "heart to go toe to toe" a the beginning of every game then I'm confident their quality would come through.
