Ricky's report of the Livingston game is now available.

Terry Butcher's post-match comments were as follows:
"The players are gutted, which shows just how far we have come, this is the type of game we would have lost last season.  We put in a lot of effort and we have stretched our unbeaten run to six. We'd like to win more at home but we have been doing the business away from home.

"Livi are a quality side, with quality up front in David Fernandez and a huge back three and they don’t give away many goals. It took a wonder goal to beat them today.  We're happy with the point as it keeps the score board ticking over and this gives us 19 points, it took us until March last year to reach this total – we’re doing okay."

'Well striker Stevie Craig said after the game:
"Overall we should’ve won and we see it as two points dropped rather than one gained.  In the last five or six weeks our confidence is high and think we have an inner belief and now see ourselves as a top four team rather than a top six side. Without a doubt a top six side as we don’t fear anybody."

On Alex Burns' disallowed goal, he added:
"I thought the defender chose to chuck it and that helped the linesman make up his mind. It was six and two threes, as far as I was concerned it was a battle of strength. At first the referee gave the goal then the flag went up.  It’s extremely hard to take when you think its cost us three points. I never spoke to the referee about it after the game as he is not going to change his mind, you are as well leaving it on the pitch."
