Beaming Dundee United boss Jack Ross has lavished praise on his Europa Conference League heroes after they produced a stunning 1-0 first leg win to down AZ Alkmaar.
Backed by 14,000 raucous supporters, United transported their jubilant punters back to the 80s as the next generation got a taste of the legendary European nights made famous during their pomp under Jim McLean. Glenn Middleton's sumptuous second half strike settled the Europa Conference League third round qualifying first leg against Pascal Jansen's Eredivisie big-hitters in the City of Discovery.
Ross is acutely aware a mammoth job awaits in the Netherlands, however, the former Sunderland and Hibs boss was keen to soak up the stirring efforts from his stars. And he was quick to put the focus onto the players on the pitch who left their Dutch rivals reeling.
