They're in a Champions League position.

I had a look at them.

Obviously, they're very strong, physical, and got a lot of good players playing for them.

So it'll be difficult games for us, but while we're there, just let's go for it.

When you start off, I think you dream about the final and then reality hits you very, very quickly.

I wouldn't have thought that we would be thinking in this competition with the teams that are still left in it, including our opponents tomorrow night, well, I wouldn't even know where the final is.

Where is that?

Easton, well, it's a long way away.

Well, the message was pretty simple, really.

We've got to...

get into the game properly.

I know we created a few chances, I must admit.

We missed a chance or two, but overall our play was very, very sloppy.

And I didn't think we adapted to the conditions and the way that Kilmarnock were playing.

Kilmarnock were very strong, and so we had to make some changes at half-time.

We did do, and the boys who came on made a big, big impact.

It's a game that we've won now when we were well and truly out of it at one stage.

When I say well and truly out of it, you feel with this group of players that they're never really out of it.

But, you know, to fight back in the manner in which we did, to get all three points and in the manner in which we did very, very late on was very pleasing.

Who knows at the end of it all?
