Canero "We Deserved To Win"

(Feb 24th 2003)

Peter Canero recollects his thoughts from the Jag's win some 24 hours earlier....

"Gary McSwegan just knocked the ball back to me and I managed to catch it, not great, but I directed it into the corner and I don't think their keeper had much of a chance.

"It was a hard game but we deserved to win. We had a few chances to finish it off although we were put under pressure towards the end.

"They must have got eight or nine corners in the last 10 minutes and they caused a lot of problems but their set pieces were their only threat - they did not create much in open play.

"We've still got Hearts in our sights and want to keep on gaining on them but first and foremost we need to get into the top six and then worry about who is in front of us then."

On participating in the Scotland Turkey match.... "These games can only benefit us for the future because we're playing against some more experienced players who are often older than 21.

"It can also help us because if you're not playing in the full team, these games can make you realise you are there or thereabouts.

"The last time I got called up as a late replacement in Germany and I managed to get involved and it was a really good experience for me.

"Hopefully I can play some part in the game this time as well and it should be good."
