Dundee United interim boss Gordon Chisholm admitted his side could not afford to feel sorry for themselves after losing to a late goal.
"It's obviously very disappointing after having so much of the ball and making the best chances," he said.
"It feels like the points have been stolen from us and we've now got a massive game against Inverness.
"We can't feel sorry for ourselves now because there's so much at stake in this final game."
