The Steelmen will be trying to win a third successive Scottish Premiership home fixture as they take on the Ayrshire side at Fir Park in the first round of domestic fixtures since last weekend's international break.

Robinson said: "The two new men are very much under consideration. There is an enforced change anyway with Ben Heneghan having left.

"There is a real confidence among the boys after winning the last two games.

"The boys believe in what they are doing and there is a real team spirit.

"We always do the same thing training wise when there is an international break. We give the boys Friday, Saturday and Sunday off and then do a full week's training.

"We are 100 per cent focused and fitness levels are extremely high."
