Pressley looks to take positives
St Mirren's stunning 4-0 win over Celtic ensured a four-point gap remained but manager Steven Pressley has urged his team to focus on their own games rather than other results.[LNB]With Kilmarnock now the nearest team to the Bairns, Pressley wants his side to maintain their momentum when they host Hibernian tomorrow.[LNB]Falkirk came from behind to take a point at both Hamilton and St Johnstone and Pressley wants them to focus on those positives rather than dwell on St Mirren's unexpected points boost.[LNB]"The point at St Johnstone was encouraging but the performance was as well," the former Scotland defender said.[LNB]"That's two difficult away games and two positive results, which has given us a bit of momentum.[LNB]"I said from day one to the players that the one thing we can't concern ourselves with is other results.[LNB]"Obviously it's good when other results go your way but the only people that will help us survive are ourselves.[LNB]"Nobody else is going to do us any favours, we can't rely on anyone else. It's down to us as team to get the correct results.[LNB]"Yes, it maybe didn't go well for us but our full concentration must be the positives we have had in the last week."[LNB]One of the positives from McDiarmid Park was the return to the starting line-up of striker Mark Stewart, who has been sidelined by groin issues for much of the campaign.[LNB]"I'm delighted to see Mark back," Pressley said.[LNB]"I thought, especially in the first half, he gave a terrific account of himself.[LNB]"It was his first game for some time. He has suffered due to injuries throughout this campaign, he's been a big miss.[LNB]"He gives us something different, we like to counter-attack and at times and he certainly provides us with that added threat with the pace he has.[LNB]"After 60 minutes he obviously tired and it was only right we replaced him but overall I was delighted with his contribution."[LNB][LNB]
