The Scot said, "I thought we played really well today. I thought our intensity, the way we kept at it, we never stepped back nearly all game. We had a period maybe 10 minutes into the second half where they had a little bit but, apart from that, I thought we had a really dominant type of performance and I thought the players played really well today. We just probably didn't do the final bit, that was all. 

"We've played against teams who've had lots of shots against us and we don't talk about the stats, but today, for me, it wasn't about the stats, it was about the performance and the attitude of the players, the attitude of the crowd. The crowd could tell that the players were at it right from the start and went after it.

"We did everything we could to win the game from the first minute to the last minute – we kept at it. If the stats say that, great, but I was more interested in how the players' attitude and how they all performed. They've done a great job."
