Lennon will turn his attention back to Europe in due course but is keen to finish this block of matches with a flourish.

He said: "We will go into the game with confidence off the back of a great run of wins.

"Obviously we've got a very quick turnaround, we will do very little on Saturday and then travel to Perth on Saturday evening.

"It's an important game. All our focus is back on to league duty but we can go into the game with, not being overconfident by any means, but believe a lot more in ourselves because we're starting to play really well.

"We must try to win the game and keep this run going, it's very important to us."

St Johnstone have lost five out of their last six games but Lennon expects nothing less than a tough match.

He said: "There was always going to be a lull after the length of time Tommy Wright was there, he did a fantastic job.

"Callum (Davidson) has come in and he needs time to put on stamp on things, and I think they're just in a transition period.

"However, we all know that teams will raise their game to play against us.

"We're away from home so we'll be as strong as we possibly can, before we go into the break."
