Ross County defender Marcus Fraser wants to put down marker in home games

Ross County defender Marcus Fraser admits home form must improve if they want to stay off the bottom of the Premiership.

The Highlanders were lifted out of the relegation zone and up to eighth after a 4-2 away win against St Johnstone last weekend, their first victory in 10 matches.

With the visit of Hamilton on Saturday kicking off a glut of home matches before the winter break, Fraser aims to add to their solitary victory at the Global Energy Stadium this season.

"Five of our next seven games are at home so we need to put a marker down and start picking up points here," he said.

"We will go out there and show the fans we really want it and go for every home game and play for three points.

"We got a win on Saturday but the boys know that is all it is and we are looking to build on that in each game and get more results."

Finding the net has been a cause for concern for Ross County this season with only 14 goals in as many games.

But, after four goals at McDiarmid Park, Fraser hopes they have kicked the problem into touch.

The 22-year-old said: "Everyone has been trying and obviously on Saturday we got four goals which is really positive.

"Now we need to build on that and keep creating chances because we have people who will score goals.

"The goals are the most important thing and, whoever scores, everyone is delighted for them.

"If you lose a few games everyone is going to label stuff at you but everyone in that dressing room knew that we could turn it around in no time."
