“The players have been working really hard and if they could get a win it would show their hard work is paying off and would give them confidence going forward.

“After the last three games we’ve spoken about things at length. The players have had their say as well it hasn’t just been me.

Nairn manager Steven Mackay wants his side to play with more confidence against Strathspey Thistle

“The players know exactly where they’re going wrong and what needs to be rectified.”

Nairn boss Steven Mackay added: “We’ve shown in spells that we can cause teams problems and play with confidence.

“But wins breed confidence and good performances breed confidence.
