Stevie May insists St Johnstone are ready to give their all against relegation play-off rivals Ross County on Wednesday night to ensure cinch Premiership survival.

The Perth club were left reeling on Saturday after Andrew Shinnie’s added-time strike gave already-relegated Livingston a 2-1 comeback win to leave Craig Levein’s side still two points behind 10th-placed Staggies – who lost 5-1 at home to Motherwell – with two league fixtures remaining.

Saints started with great purpose in West Lothian and took the lead after eight minutes through striker Adama Sidibeh but failed to capitalise on other chances.

The visitors paid the price in the 72nd minute when Livi defender Cristian Montano fired in from a Stephen Kelly corner and then in the fifth of five added minutes, after Nicky Clark had spurned a great chance for Saints, substitute Shinnie fired in the winner.

May urged his team-mates and fans to shrug off the disappointment of Saturday to focus on County.
