Win brings relief to Jimmy

Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood was relieved to take three points from the game against Gretna at Pittodrie but thought his side eased off after the break.
Two goals in the opening 18 minutes put the Dons in complete control but the visitors hit back well in the second half, to Calderwood's dismay.
"I thought we started the game very strongly and were playing good one and two-touch football," he said.
"We've started poorly in our last three games, but we were playing at a pace that suits us and we created chances.
"But we then got a little bit sloppy in the last 15 minutes of the first half with our passing and we warned the players about that at half-time.
"When your legs go, then your concentration levels drop and if Yantoro had scored then we'd have been struggling again in a game we'd dominated until then.
"But we've got the victory and that's the most important thing."
