MANAGER Paul Hartley and defender Daniel Higgins spoke to the media after our 2-2 draw with Falkirk at the Falkirk Stadium.

Paul said: “We had a dressing room of very disappointed players at the end because we drew the game.

“That shows the standards we have set at our club.

“Our lads were fantastic, they gave everything in what we knew would be a very tough game – against full-time opponents.

“We controlled the game, played some really good stuff and scored two excellent goals,  so it was hard to concede the equaliser in the dying minutes.

“We also had loads of chances, the missed penalty and we hit the post twice.

“We have shown we are a match for anybody in this league, so it’s just a case of focussing on the next game and going again.”

Daniel said: “We are upset we didn’t win the game.

“They never really had all that many opportunities.

“Their first goal was from a penalty and the second comes from a long ball that was effective for them, although we should have dealt with it better.

“We played how we always want to play and felt we deserved to be more than one goal ahead going into the latter stages.

“We are proud to be sitting where we are in the league, if anyone told us at the start of the season that we would be third with three games to go we would never have believed it.

“We are there because we go into every game fancying ourselves to win, no matter who we are up against.

“It will be the same when we play Partick Thistle on Tuesday.

“They are a very good side and on a bit of a roll at the moment but, as we always do,  we will give it our best shot.”
