What they're saying

"
The second-half performance deserved the result and a special mention to Calvin Miller, absolute warrior. Timi: The magnitude of this victory should be a kick up the backside to other teams in Scottish football to prove that it can be done. With - arguably - nine men against a solid Rapid team and shocking referee we took Scottish football under our wing and delivered one of the most impressive results for some time!
