Ross County defender Marcus Fraser feels confident the Staggies can string together a sequence of results required to lift themselves out of relegation danger.
County are a point above bottom side Partick Thistle but four points adrift of Hamilton and Dundee in the relegation play-off spot.
The Dingwall men play the first of five remaining fixtures when they host Motherwell today and, despite appearing to have turned a corner in recent weeks, Fraser knows County are still far from safe.
He said: “Everyone keeps saying it but it is true – we’ve five cup finals to go.
“We need to give it 100% from now until the end of the season and, when these five games are done, we’ll see where we’re at.
“In recent years, in these kind of big games, we’ve always tended to show up well when it has been required. We’ve put up a fight and scored goals.
“Results help and momentum is everything at this stage in the season. But the big win we had against Partick has gone now.
“Hopefully by the end of the season we’ll look back and say that was a big win that triggered a good run.”
Fraser is enjoying his own role at the heart of the Staggies’ three-man backline under co-managers Stuart Kettlewell and Steven Ferguson, and the former Celtic player is firmly up for the challenge of maintaining County’s top-flight status for a seventh straight season.
He added: “We’ve tweaked a couple of things like going to a three at the back.
“Everyone’s enjoying it. I can play a number of positions, so I don’t mind where Stuart and Steven play me. I’m sure all the boys are the same.
“There are a lot of hard-working lads in there who are keen to stay in this league.
“I wouldn’t say we weren’t up for it before, but maybe a couple of things have just changed – luck, or whatever it is. It is hard for me to put my finger on it.
“We seem to have a bit of momentum now and we need to carry that on.”
Today’s opponents are on a high after reaching the Scottish Cup final last weekend.
Fraser feels the onus is on his side at Victoria Park this afternoon, with the 23-year-old adding: “Everyone has different opinions on how reaching the Scottish Cup final might affect Motherwell.
“Will they be looking with one eye to the cup final or will they still be buoyant? In their shoes, I’d be playing without fear – buoyant and happy – especially after reaching a second cup final of the year.
“Motherwell will come here their usual selves – hard-working and capable of causing problems for any team.
“The last two home games have been positive.
“A lot has been said about the fixtures but we have Motherwell at home and we need to go and try to win the game.”
