Pedro’s away day joy

Wacky Pedro Caixinha is taking heart from last season’s wins over Partick Thistle and St Johnstone ahead of Sunday’s trip to Ross County.

Most of the players that contributed to those victories are no where near squad that will travel to Dingwall but facts and reality rarely impact on the fifth best coach from Qatar.

One point from home matches against Hibs and Hearts indicate the quality of Caixinha’s summer spending spree with Celtic and Aberdeen likely to be eight points ahead by the time Craig Thomson blows his first whistle on Sunday.

In his latest managerial sermon the former Santos Laguna supremo explained to the club website: “I can tell you that I don’t like too much statistics.

Sometimes I use them only when they are in our favour, but since we arrived in all the league matches we have played away we only draw one, which was against Kilmarnock.

That means the statistic when we play away games is far and away better that we play in Ibrox. In all the games we have, and we are going to play, we just need to think about winning.

We are now looking forward for the next match which for us is always the most important one and we expect the same from all the opponents.

When they play against Rangers they don’t play 100 percent, they play 200 percent.

They give their maximum and the longer the game goes and the result is not in our favour, things will become more difficult because they grow in confidence.

But the most important thing for us is always our team. We are seeing one team that is having one strong identity and one team that is fighting from the beginning until the end.

If we have that, and we have the quality of players we have, we know that we are going to start winning games and winning games in a row, of course, sooner rather than later.”

That last reference to winning matches in a row seem to be a response to newspaper warnings that Caixinha has to win the next three SPFL matches.

Ross County, Dundee and Partick Thistle shouldn’t pose too much of a threat to the best squad in Scotland but under the former bull fighter anything is possible.

Sevco are hoping to complete a swoop for highly rated Manchester City starlet Aaron Nemane who could go straight into the team for Sunday’s match.
