Levein happy with United's point

Levein was proud of the effort his side put in at Tannadice

Dundee United manager Craig Levein was satisfied with his team after a thrilling 1-1 draw at home to Hibs.

"I thought the players were excellent after the exertions of the semi-final on Tuesday night," he told BBC Sport.

"I thought we played really well, worked our socks off again to create chances and on another day we'd have had the game won before Hibs scored.

"It was a great advert for Scottish football and I have got to be happy with the point we got."

Interview: Dundee United manager Craig Levein

Levein watched goalkeeper Lukasz Zaluska gift Hibs their equaliser but took the opportunity to defend the Pole after a turbulent week.

Zaluska was a target for abuse from Aberdeen supporters during Tuesday's CIS Insurance Cup semi-final victory at Tynecastle.

He was spoken to by police about his behaviour after that game, notably the gestures he made towards travelling Dons fans.

The Scottish Football Association are now considering whether to take further action over the incident.

"We should be looking with CCTV cameras at those mindless idiots," said Levein.

"They are the ones who are guilty. They are the ones we should be looking at.

"I'm talking about those at the Dundee United end as well in case anyone thinks I'm being one-sided.

"They should be pulling these people out and charging them.

"Forget about the goalkeeper. If I arrived in Poland and got that kind of treatment, God knows what I would think of the Polish people.

"Let's look at the real problem here and that is these people who threw coins.

"Coins can hit people in the eye and cause a serious injury. That's far more serious than a two-fingered gesture or whatever Lukasz did.

"He said he was constantly getting abuse and things thrown at him.

"Similar things happened at the other end so I don't want anyone to think I'm having a go at the Aberdeen fans.

"I'm having a go at the mindless idiots who throw things on to a football pitch. "He feels there has been an injustice."
