WATCH: 'I don't think in this league you can ever say you're safe' : Lindsay on bumpy road ahead for Swifts

Kris Lindsay has warned his Dungannon Swifts side against complacency as the club enjoys a real purple patch in the Danske Bank Premiership.

Almost four months to the day since taking over at Stangmore Park, the 34-year-old told us that while survival is a priority, they are targeting a much higher place in the table.

Lindsay, who is one of the youngest bosses in the local top-flight, is a guest on our latest BetMcLean football show in partnership with NIFL.

This is now available to view on Cool FM’s Facebook page and to download as a podcast (see link below).

Under his guidance, the Swifts have taken seven points from their last three games – and are showing the form that should see them safe from the drop.

And for Lindsay, things are finally falling into place.

"If we keep playing as we are, keep picking up points, then we'll stay safe, and we'll look to catch the teams above us. But we've got to do our job, and continue to pick up points,” he says.

Lindsay, who chose to leave Glenavon earlier in the season when it looked like the Lurgan Blues would challenge for the title, continues to relish his first senior appointment.

But he tells us that there is plenty of work to do – despite their turnaround from a disappointing start.

For him, it was a defeat to bottom club Ards in December that was a bit of a wake-up call.

"I think it might have been the kick up the backside that we needed as a club, as staff, as players - and since then, we've been excellent. Everybody who's taken to the pitch has done the basics right, which has allowed our quality to come over,” he says.

"I don’t think in this league you can ever say you're safe. Yeah, it's a nice cushion, but we still have 13 or 14 games left and teams in this league have a tendency to go on runs. If that happens, then you never know."

Also guesting this week is former Carrick boss Davy McAlinden.
