Programme

Quotes

We are disappointed but proud. I have told them to have a drink with their families, travel back together and enjoy the occasion... But now we will learn from the experience. The expectation level is higher now and the fans expect us to reach the play-offs now, that's how things have changed. They will expect promotion next season and I believe we are good enough for that.
- Martin Scott
It's for these people. To take 41,000 to a game like this is incredible and hopefully they'll all be there at the start of next season. They've had 10 years where they've been in the doldrums, they've been frustrated but you can see that they're a big club - I'm delighted for them.
- Paul Sturrock
