Jim Goodwin on his side’s win against Celtic:

“It has been a long time since we beat Celtic in front of our own supporters, it was 2014 the last time, and that’s one for them.

“We are not getting carried away. We are not happy with our league position, but that gives us a lot of confidence.”

David Gray on his side’s defeat at Ibrox:

“So, for all the control I felt we had, considering this was a difficult venue to come, Jack Butland didn’t really have a save to make, so it wasn’t as if we had chance after chance and I think that was down to a lack of decision making sometimes, and a lack of quality.

“The final third let us down, we just lacked that little bit of cutting edge tonight and it wasn’t for getting into good areas, it was just the final bit and it probably summed up our night, to be honest.”
