Dundee 1-2 St Johnstone: What the manager said
St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari: "Our players were fantastic today, and our fans were unbelievable. Going down 1-0 first half we did not freeze. We just kept gong and the fans were backing us.
"I was very pleased to hear the things our player were talking about half-time and what we needed to do. It was just a matter of going and doing it and I'm so pleased for everyone.
"It was a good way for the referee to explain why it took so long. There were many incidents he needed to look at. It would have been a penalty to us for a handball by the defender [anyway].
"It was a good openness from the referee to explain it.
"Nothing has changed. We got the three points but tomorrow and Monday we are back to work and we still have a lot of things to improve."
