We deserved to get the extra point with our performance. I thought Dunfermline had a couple of chances to put the game to bed but the longer the game went on, especially in the second half, I thought we were outstanding. Some of our play was sensational.

For a part-time team what a week we’ve had. Long journey up to Buckie and back and then playing a Premier League top six team on Tuesday night and pushing them to the last minute and then coming here. The effort has been unbelievable from the boys, they’ve gave me every ounce of effort and sweat that they’ve got. I need to look after them now because we’re back here next week.

the longer the game went I think there was only going to be one winner.

We work hard. We know what we’re trying to achieve. I expect effort, I expect commitment, I expect them to be proud of the jersey they’re wearing. Some of the football we played, it’s right up there. I’m absolutely delighted with them.

That’s how we want to play. We’ve got the big boys up top but we’ve got the boys that can play. Look at Scougall in the second half. He was unplayable. Dunfermline are a good team, they’re a strong team and they had chances to go 2-0 up, my keeper was brilliant at the beginning of the second half, he kept us in it.

But the longer the game went I think there was only going to be one winner. That’s the end of the cup run for us, we’re disappointed at that but we’ve held our head high in it, we’ve put in good performances so it’s onto league business. Every game’s different. The formations might be different, big Andy is suspended next week. One door closes and one door opens.
