There are a couple of difficult games coming up like away to Hearts.

It's exciting stuff at the moment. We're scoring goals but the way we're defending means we're needing three and four goals to win games,

It was a fantastic game and I thought the players were brilliant to come back from two goals behind,

I thought we played exceptionally well,

I knew he'd gone through a liver transplant but I thought things were pretty good, so it's a shock to me personally, and I'm very sad to hear that he's gone.

In the first half I thought we played really well and I was pleased with the way started,

It was a good result for us today with us winning and Rangers losing,

Anybody who is thinking of applying for the Scotland job in the next eight or nine years should go get themselves checked out by about 15 psychiatrists.

We're all disappointed and none more so than Chris himself but he'll have the problem looked at by experts on Friday so we'll maybe have some more news then.

It's a massive blow and we will miss him going into a game like this.

Henrik Larsson has been a good friend of Alan's over the years, so Alan decided to make it a bit easier for him.

It's been pretty extraordinary. Despite the press conference on Wednesday it's taken me a bit of time to get over the defeat at Fir Park. It was hurting. Someone just asked me did I have any regrets and my only one would be that, due to circumstances, I don't have a chance now to go and try and regain the championship for next season. It's gone. There's a finality to it.

I don't know where the players get their determination and their courage to keep going and they deserve great credit.

The goals gave us confidence and the tempo was good, but in the second half we over indulged, started playing fancy flicks and our centre-half started trying back-heels which might please the fans, but I'm not sure about the manager.

I think the club have learned one or two wee lessons from this,

We will give Anderlecht plenty of thought over the next few days and if we play as well as we can, we're capable of winning it.

Earlier, he had spoken excitedly about the injection of cash he is expecting for next season and of his genuine belief that there will be money available to get what I would call really decent players into the football club. ... Martin O'Neill has given his clearest hint yet...
