Ross County forward Craig Curran believes the Staggies squad is capable of another strong run of form to lift them into the top six.
Englishman Curran was part of a Staggies side that rallied to secure Premiership survival in 2015 thanks to an excellent run of 10 victories from their final 14 matches, having previously been six points adrift at the foot of the table.
County still hope to secure a top-half finish for the second successive season but are five points adrift of sixth-placed Partick Thistle with six games left before the split.
The Staggies secured their first league victory of 2017 in their last outing when they defeated Hearts 1-0 at Tynecastle on Wednesday and Curran hopes that can kick start another fine run of form.
Curran said: “We went on a run a couple of years ago and we found that three or four wins can really change things.
“It shows the character of the players we’ve got. We’ve got some players who rise to the pressure and that’s one thing I don’t worry about.
“We’ve got players who have played at the very top in England and we’re looking for their experience. I’m sure we’ll do it and I’m not worried about not being where we are.”
Having been out of action at the weekend due to the Scottish Cup quarter-finals, County return when they face Kilmarnock at Victoria Park on Saturday.
County have lost six of their 13 league games at Dingwall, and with this match the first of three at Victoria Park before the split.
Curran reckons an improvement in home form will be key to his side’s hopes and the 27-year-old added: “No game is easy now – teams are competing for top six and avoiding relegation. No one is safe either way.
“We have shown in the big games what we can do though and we now need to find that consistency. We’ve got some big players who will rise to the occasion.
“We’ve had some really good results, but we do need to improve our home form. We want to put on a show for our supporters but if we put a run together and get into the top six, I don’t really care where they come from.”
