Betfred Man of the Match | Wes Burns
Wes Burns was named the Betfred Man of the Match and after the game he spoke to RedTV:
“The most important thing was getting into the hat for the next round.
“We knew we could not just turn up tonight and expect to win. We knew we had to put in a good performance.
“I thought we did ok. We let them back into the game at the end of the first half which caused us some problems in the second half but I thought the boys reacted well to conceding the goal and we got the job done in the end.
“It was one of those games where I was never going to score no matter what happened! I could still be out there playing now! I just have to make sure I keep getting into those positions and then hopefully the goals will come.
“St Johnstone in the next round will be another difficult difficult game. I think we knew how they will play but they are very good at what they do. From playing them on Sunday we will know what to expect so we will prepare properly for that and look forward to a home tie when the games comes around.
“I think we have the squad and the strength in depth to do well in this competition. Last season in the league we showed on our day we can beat anyone. I am not saying we are unbeatable but we are a good side when we get it right on the field so there is no reason why we can’t do well in this competition over the next couple of months if we can get past a good St Johnstone side.
“The boys have made me very welcome since I arrived. I now have my girlfriend and my dog up here so I feel very settled. It is a home away from home. That is really important. I like to feel settled on the pitch as well as off it. if I am happy off the field it will help my performances on the park.”
