KILMARNOCK will hope to pick up their first Premiership points of the season as they welcome St Mirren to Rugby Park for a midweek clash.
Neil McCann's team are licking their wounds following a chastening 4-0 defeat at home to Dundee United on Saturday.
The Rugby Park side have conceded 13 goals in their three league matches so far, and will need to shore up their defence against a Saints side arriving with confidence.
The Buddies are unbeaten in the Scottish Premiership so far and will be looking to pick up a rare win against Killie.
The transfer window deadline is looming on Thursday night, and McCann says he is focused on his current group of players.
He said: "I'm not even thinking about that right now, to be honest.
"I still completely believe in this squad and that what we're doing will bear fruit. I'm positive of that.
"I know it looks a bit vulnerable. When we concede a goal, you can see that maybe knocks us. But we need to just find that little bit of steel.
"I said to the players, 'you'll be asked questions because of the goals we've conceded'. The goal difference doesn't look that pretty right now.
"The squad we've assembled is more than good enough to start picking up wins and, once we do, then we'll catch fire.
"We've had three defeats in the league but I'm convinced by what we've got. They just need to make sure that they're performing.
"The manner in which we want to play, I think, will get us great results. But that's not enough. If you want to play like that, you just need to show so much more."
