00:00Liam, you must be delighted with that. Just how big is it to get that first win?

00:03It's what we've walked over for the last three years.

00:08The commitment, the effort, the determination throughout the team was outstanding today.

00:12Even when we went down to ten men, we showed composure and played.

00:16The subs came on and made a massive impact.

00:18So congratulations to Lee Carrell, his first professional goal in debut.

00:21So it wasn't for him, but also for the team.

00:23It means so much to the boys in there.

00:25It kind of takes that monkey off the back to get the first one in the Premiership

00:28and go and just enjoy it and play.

00:29But we're sure we can do that, so don't need to fear anything.

00:32A clean sheet as well, you must be delighted with that.

00:34And it was certainly a battle out there and they made you up for it, even down to ten men.

00:37Yeah, no. It's a tough place to come, Aberdeen.

00:40The wind as well was quite difficult to judge today,

00:43so we knew when they went down to ten men they would work hard

00:46to try and get that extra point on the pitch for their work rate.

00:49So we knew we had to try and take the sting out of the game and play.

00:52And like you said, what a clean sheet to roll the sleeves up at the end

00:57and defend some crosses and sticky situations.

01:00We've done it really well and it's credit to all the lads

01:02because it's not just the back four and the goalie,

01:05it's the whole team that works hard for the clean sheet.

01:07And it's a massive win for the travelling fans as well.

01:09Just trying to help you along today.

01:10I mean, it's Brian, isn't it?

01:11It seems like they've enjoyed their day out.

01:13Yeah, Brian, they're always, we've seen it now for the last couple of years,

01:17they've been different class travelling numbers, they're loud.

01:20They sing, they don't stop singing.

01:21So to give them back something was really nice.

01:24He's seen that at the end of the game and we're all packing them coming up.

01:28So they'll be buzzing, they'll be on the train with a few bevies I don't think so, eh?

01:32Like a few pints on the way back down.

01:33So, nah, buzzing for them and obviously buzzing for the sequence.

01:36And the manager, it was funny, he mentioned the win bonus

01:39that you guys will do when you get in front of your new loan signings

01:42so that will be embedded in quite quickly.

01:44But just for having the guys embedded in so far,

01:46I'm guessing the guys that can really add something to the team.

01:49Yeah, to be honest mate, it's been quite a quick turnaround.

01:53Obviously these signings kind of happen overnight.

01:56And they came in to Kyrel, actually got one training session in,

01:59so that was quite good.

02:01We've seen his pace in training, we knew that he'd be quite a danger in that area.

02:05So, yeah, I hope they come in and help the squad.

02:08We all do.

02:09So, it's not just one individual player, we're all a team.

02:11So, for Kyrel to come on and do really well, it's great to him.

02:15And a big tie as well.

02:17He put himself out in months on headers.

02:19So, yeah, no, hopefully they can add to the squad.

02:21Just finally, for yourself, I mean, what does it feel like?

02:24It wasn't that long ago you were turning out for Edinburgh City?

02:26I mean, you've just completed a Premiership game and got a clean sheet.

02:29It must feel amazing.

02:30Yeah, it's been good.

02:31I didn't change the room in there.

02:32I said I've got a Premiership on my CV now.

02:34So, and a clean sheet.

02:36No, it's been brilliant, obviously, where I came from.

02:39And to kind of go up through the leagues to the top league now

02:42and get my first winning Premiership is brilliant.

02:44But most importantly, it wasn't for the team in the three points.

02:46And the three points.

02:47.

02:48.

02:49.
