I don’t mean winning Scottish Cups but they’ve basically saved the club, so hats off to them. I’m very, very proud of them and delighted that we have stayed up."We brought in eight players and showed 12 the door.

It's so hard to bed them in, but we managed to get consistent in the last nine to 12 games. The last 12 to 13 games of the season, we'd be top of the league, it's been championship form."There's been some real downs, but they have started to show a level of consistency.

It's a great achievement. Beating Stenhousemuir 6-1 away from home gave everyone a lot of confidence. Since then, they have really kicked on."Midfielder Ray Grant is one of the players has been through the rollercoaster of a campaign, having returned from injury in December, and reckons keeping the club in the SPFL is
