The Australian said: “We are four now unbeaten and if we take that into Kilmarnock I feel we will do well.

“You can tell everyone’s a lot more joyful and happier in the club. Obviously we still have a lot of work to do, we are not there yet.

“If we keep this run going and hopefully get further up the table, it will be more joyful.

“It’s just hard work and people coming together. There’s a different face and a different atmosphere as well.”
