goal half number second spell start top
I thought in the first half we were excellent. We got one goal and could have got a number more. Hibs were on top for a spell at the start of the second half, but after our second goal there was only going to be one winner.

We have spoken to Paul and his agent and are getting closer. He's a smashing player and a great character in the dressing room too. He simply enjoys his football.

Julien is still having some tests done but he's going home for the weekend and will hopefully start training with us on Tuesday.

I'm hoping to look at a specific player but other than that I don't really want to say anymore at the moment.

Joe knows Craig Levein well and, if the talks work out, it will be a good opportunity for the lad.

came football good great job keen mentally morning respect saturday stay wished
I was very keen for Dennis to stay but he came in on Saturday morning and said he didn't think it was right to stay on and I wished him all the best. Dennis was disappointed, which is understandable, but he can still do a good job on the football field. At the end of the day he has got to be mentally right and he told me he wasn't and you have to respect his decision. He's been a great professional.
blow fourth goal minutes official soon whistle
When the fourth official put two minutes up I just thought blow your whistle because you could feel that as soon as we conceded the first goal we were jittery and worried.
doubt midnight players sign until
We will be working right up until midnight to try and sign the players we want, no doubt about that.
