Wright relishing pressure of Easter Road trip

Defender Akil Wright is keenly aware of how important an away win against Hibs could be for Ross County this weekend.

The Staggies fell to a 3-0 home defeat against Rangers on Sunday and have three wins in 16 league games. They currently sit eighth in the top flight, three clear of bottom-placed Hibs.

Don Cowie's side have failed to win away from home in seven top-flight attempts this campaign and face a tricky trip to Easter Road on Saturday.

"It's a massive game and we need to turn our away form around. What a time it would be to do it," said Wright.

"There's a lot of pressure on both teams, but we're looking forward to it.

"There are a lot of positives but if you lose 3-0 there are negatives that we want to improve on and work on.

"We're working hard in training this week to get ready for the game on Saturday.

"Scoring goals from every area of the pitch will help the team going forward, from defence to up front.

"We've not scored an away goal in a while [since a 1-1 draw at Hearts on September 28] so what a time it would be to do it and hopefully end our drought of not winning away from home.

"We want to increase the gap [on Hibs] to six points."
