McInally hails Morton cup victory

McInally saw his side come back from 1-0 down

Morton manager Jim McInally was delighted with the surprise Scottish Cup victory over Kilmarnock.

"I said to the players, 'Enjoy it because we have beaten a good team'," said McInally after the 3-1 win.

"When they scored early in the second half, we did fear the worst. They started to show quality but my players deserve unbelievable credit.

"They are used to coming back and hard work. Celtic and Rangers are the only teams that regularly beat Kilmarnock."

Two goals from Chris Templeman and another from Paul McGowen in the space of 11 second-half minutes made it a famous victory for the Greenock side.

McInally admitted he was worried before the game about how his players would cope against a Premier League side.

He said: "We were just thinking, 'Will they do themselves justice or will they freeze?'.

"But the back four was solid and the boys in the middle had tremendous energy."
