St Johnstone WFC may have agonisingly exited the SWPL Cup last Sunday.
But interim head coach Murdo Steven witnessed further evidence of how hard his group of players are prepared to work for each other and the club.
Saints had been reduced to 10 players on the hour mark - captain Hannah Clark received two bookings - but managed to force a 1-1 draw and extra-time at Rugby Park against Kilmarnock.
