Ross County boss Don Cowie has demanded a positive response against Kilmarnock after Wednesday’s defeat at St Johnstone.

Having won their previous two matches to move into top-six contention, Cowie admitted his side “didn’t step up” at McDiarmid Park as they lost 1-0 to the Premiership’s bottom side.

County are now ninth – four points adrift of sixth-placed Hearts and five points clear of second-bottom Dundee – as they prepare to host a Killie side one place and one point below them.

“We’ve got to move on from Wednesday, I’m not going to dwell on it,” Cowie said in a club video. “The focus is on getting ready for another big game against Kilmarnock and trying to get back to winning ways.

“We’ve been in good form, had a good run of results. On Wednesday we didn’t perform and we got what we deserved, just like what we got what deserved in our previous two games by winning them because we had played well.

“We didn’t play well on Wednesday, we accept that’s why we lost the game. In football, you always have the opportunity to put things right and that comes against Kilmarnock.”
