The players gave me exactly what I expected of them, both the guys who have been here doing it for the last five years and the newer ones who stood shoulder to shoulder with them and didn't let them down.

We are grieving about this result but we should also be thinking about Chris. I hope he'll be back soon.
feeling good group guys mixture past top trophies win won
We have a new group of players. And a mixture of guys who have won trophies in the past and want to find out if they can still win trophies, and those who have never won trophies before. On top of that, we all want to know if we can win trophies together. We're feeling good about ourselves, and we feel we can win the cup.
goal impossible losing minutes watch
We have to watch what we do in the first 10 or 15 minutes because we don't want to end the tie, or make it even more impossible than it is, by losing a goal right away,
agreed bit freshness game imagination near terms wee
We're back in terms of freshness and imagination and touch. We were a wee bit nervy near the end when they scored but I think we all agreed the game should have been all over and done with.

I don't want it to be something that you couldn't offer to his memory. You couldn't have that for Jimmy Johnstone. I'd want to dedicate something of beauty and not a horrendous performance.
