Motherwell manager Jim Gannon hopes a "stronger mentality" will help his players go one better on their swift return to St Mirren Park.

Motherwell needed a late double by Lukas Jutkiewicz to rescue a Clydesdale Bank Premier League point in Paisley on Saturday against their Co-operative Cup opponents. Gannon kept his players in the dressing room for close to an hour after the 3-3 draw for a measured discussion on how they can improve for the quarter-final.

And he expects them to retain that focus until the end of Tuesday night`s game, saying: "We`re constantly trying to change the culture of the club for self-improvement. I think the way we approached the whole week wasn`t great."

He added: "There have been players who have been distracting other players and what we wanted to do was talk about what lessons we can learn from last week and the game.

"I wanted to do that straight after the game so the players were reflecting on it over the weekend.

"Hopefully we will see a stronger mentality and a stronger spirit in preparation for this game."
