However, he knows it will not be easy as they face Inverness on Wednesday night in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League, even though Terry Butcher's side have slumped in recent weeks.
"It's a big week with Inverness then Hamilton in the cup," said Houston.
"Inverness have been struggling a wee bit recently but we are not reading anything into that.
"Against Aberdeen last week they played very well and they have good players.
"They gave us a doing at Tannadice a few months ago so we know exactly what they're capable of.
"It is always tough going up there and Terry's teams battle for everything so we know it's going to be tough.
"It could be a huge week for our season. We did well against Hibs on Sunday and two wins later this week would really set us off again.''
