George Harmon says Ross County owe Motherwell some payback

George Harmon believes Ross County are due a result against Motherwell – and he is determined to get it at Fir Park on Saturday.
While the Staggies did earn a 1-1 draw in North Lanarkshire, it is the results in Dingwall that have stuck longer in the memory.
A dismal 5-0 defeat in October was followed by a 2-0 defeat in March in Stuart Kettlewell’s second game in charge of the Steelmen.
The two teams enter this weekend in very different situations, too.
Motherwell secure their top flight status for another year last time out, while even after two wins out of two to start the post-split schedule County sit 11th in the table.
Harmon, then, believes the Staggies cannot afford to think their job is done, with focus fully on Motherwell and winning three in-a-row for the first time this season.
“We would rather not be where we are, but it is what it is,” he said.
“We’ve just got to make sure we stay at it and pick up three points wherever we can. You can’t get too high with the highs or too low with the lows, you’ve got to keep balanced throughout.
“We could have got too high after the win over Livingston, but we knew we would have a tough battle at Dundee United.
“It will be the same again at Motherwell – and we owe them one after the last couple of games against them.”
Harmon will continue to be pushed personally in Dingwall with the return of Ben Purrington to the matchday squad over recent weeks.
It will be the biggest competition for places Harmon has had in what he believes to have been a solid first year in Scottish football.
“The lads have been really good with me,” Harmon reasoned.
“It has been my first season in professional football coming from the non-league, and I’ve taken it in my stride. I’ve tried to work as hard as I can, and tried to impress the gaffer with my performances.
“Hopefully that shirt is mine now, and I want to try and keep it for as long as I can. The good thing with Ben is he’s versatile – he can play left back, centre half and wing back.
“I’ve had competition all season – Josh Sims and Owura Edwards can also play in that left wing back role. I just want to play as many games as I can and help the team out as well.”
