Everything the manager said to Premier Sports after the game.

Did you get improvement?

No, I don't think so. I think a little bit but I can't be happy with the performance today.

What has left you unhappy?

We were not convincing. First half, we started okay going 1-0 up and dominating. They didn't have any chances and we kept looking for the goal. The last pass in the final third wasn't accurate enough to score the second goal but I think we were well in the game. Second half we started well and after 10 or 15 minutes we dropped our standards and couldn't create any big chances while we lost the ball too often. Dundee had too many moments they were in the game so I wasn't happy with the performance.

Why did the performance go flat?

We couldn't reach our wingers quickly enough. We were waiting instead of taking opportunities to take chances. We didn't circulate the ball quickly enough. The performance in the last 25 minutes could and should have been better.

You gave chances to squad players, have any of them convinced you they are worth more opportunities?

We have a big squad. We rotated today. Ridvan had a decent game. It's not easy for him to settle in. He's done well in the last couple of weeks and his performance showed that. At the back we were strong and didn't give too many chances away. `We need to keep improving. We are through to the semi-final but we can't be happy with the performance and that's what I told the players.

Is there anything you need to do differently?

There will be changes on Saturday again to get things fresher. Today we had to change players to give others minutes but also to keep players fresh with so many games to be played. All the games are coming so fast. We didn't get any new injuries today and we are through to the semi-final so that's positive but the performance needs to be better.

What do you make of the draw with Aberdeen?

It's always difficult games against them. It's the semi-final and we will both do everything to get to the final. It's going to be a good game in January. It's always nice to go to Hampden as it means you are far in a tournament or in a final. We are happy with that.
