Dunfermline Athletic boss Stephen Kenny cut a sorry figure after seeing his side relegated from the SPL by a 2-1 defeat at Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
The Pars had closed to within one point of St Mirren following a recent upturn in form, but the loss in the Highlands proved to be crucial as the Buddies ran out 3-2 winners at Motherwell.
Kenny said: "The reason I am disappointed is because I think we look a really good side at the moment and there is a lot of talent in the team.
"Had we stayed up then I think we could have done well in the SPL next season.
"Now we are relegated, there are implications such as players possibly wanting to leave and that would definitely make us weaker.
"It was cruel because we have played some outstanding football in the last few weeks, but that's the way it goes.
"That is a real kick in the teeth for us because it sets us back as a club."
