Linlithgow Rose captain Connor McMullan refused to be too downbeat following his side’s Scottish Cup exit and spoke of his pride of his team-mate’s display against their second tier hosts.
The East of Scotland Premier Division outfit gave a good account of themselves in front of a packed house at Prestonfield on Tuesday night, especially in the first-half, before falling to a Jamie Gullan brace after the interval as Raith ran out 2-0 winners.
But the Rose were far from disgraced and while the skipper confessed to a tinge of disappointment, he admitted the positives far outweighed the negatives for his club.
