Well, the players had a day off yesterday and so I think they were in need of some recuperation anyway.
This will be a tough match for us.
Obviously, they're very pleased, as we all are, with the fight back.
We did brilliantly in the second half.
As I said, not too many teams come from a 2-0 deficit at Ibrox to get something out of the game, which we did.
But we certainly can't spend 45 minutes on the back foot and not really competing properly.
And that's against any side, never mind Rangers.
So from our viewpoint, yeah, I think that we've got to try and get...
get a grip of the game earlier than we're doing.
Yeah, absolutely.
It is an opportunity.
I'm not saying he sees himself as that.
That's what he wants to be.
You have to do that.
And he's come in and I think he's done very, very well in the games.
I know he's...
And at this minute, he's taking over from a goalkeeper who's been a really, really terrific goalkeeper throughout his career and one who also still wants to do very, very well, not only for the club, but for himself.
And I would have assumed...
We've been fighting the whole way through.
It seems as if it's like the old proverbial mountain to climb every single week and games are getting fewer and fewer now.
