Tom Aldred is relishing the challenge of Celtic on Sunday as the Steelmen look to bounce back from a disappointing defeat against Hamilton Academical.
The centre back, who says he and his teammates will be ready for the challenge, looked ahead to the fixture as he spoke to the broadcast press.
The 27-year-old said a positive performance could also hold the club in good stead going in to some important games.
“When you have a result like last weekend you need a reaction,” Aldred said. “We disappointed not just with the result but with the performance.
“But to be honest, I don’t think you need much more incentive than we have when you go up against Celtic, so we’ll be ready.
“We’ll be ready for the run of games coming up. As a player they’re the games that you don’t just look forward to but you pride yourself on going out and getting a result in, so we’ll be right up for it.”
