Jim Goodwin insists Dundee United proved they have the guts required to beat the drop by fighting back to claim a point at Livingston.
The Tannadice side ended a dismal run of seven straight defeats after being transformed after the interval on the back of a poor first half display. But Goodwin was adamant he saw enough from his side in the second 45 minutes to believe they can climb towards safety after moving within three points of second bottom Kilmarnock.
He said: "We showed we have the fighting characteristics that we need in a relegation battle. The only way we get ourselves out of this is to show guts and character and that's what I saw. It's also crucial we showed the supporters that we have that fight. I'm satisfied that we've managed to put a stop to the run of defeats, that was really important tonight. This is a notoriously difficult place for any team to come to.
