LEAGUE TABLE: SPFL Championship"After the last defeat to Falkirk I was irritated in the manner of the game but not here. I was pleased with the performance though I don't like losing games, remember we have won this league by 12 points and that's more than Hibs won it with last year and they're a really good team, so nothing takes away from what this team has achieved."
