Ross County 2-1 Hibernian: What the manager said

Nick Montgomery tells BBC Scotland: "It’s a game I felt we should’ve one but it’s a game we have thrown away. I can’t excuse the goals we have conceded. Really, really poor goals. We do the difficult thing - going 1-0 up away from home - but we then concede a poor equaliser. After that we have chance after chance, I think 20 shots.

"We have one-on-ones, we hit the post, then we get undone by a mistake in the last five minutes we should never make. But as a collective, it’s down to everybody and that’s what happens when you don’t take chances. We’ve done it way too much this season and we’ve shot ourselves in the foot. It’s a game we should’ve took three points.

"I thought we dominated the game. In areas of the game, we played some really nice football. But we come away with nothing because we make mistakes, concede two really poor goals and don’t take our chances. We should’ve taken three points.

"The away fans are fantastic. We travel on the day, they travel on the day. It’s a long way to come. I think at 1-1 we get applauded off because they understand the frustration. They’re frustrated.

"I always go over — win, lose or draw — and clap all the fans. I’ve been a fan, I understand you work hard all week and you want to come support the team on. I went closer today to tell them I appreciate it and that I know we should have won the game. We understand their frustrations, it’s been a frustrating season from the start to the end."
