Gretna boss Davie Irons was a proud man after seeing his side earn their first-ever SPL point from a 1-1 draw at Hearts.
Craig Barr's goal 11 minutes from time at Tynecastle gave Irons reason to be happy, as the Black & Whites celebrated in style.
Irons said: "I said to the players last week I was really proud of them even though they fell to a 4-2 defeat.
"We are not getting carried away, but to be totally honest, I am very proud of every single one of them, the way they thought and the way they gave their all for the team.
"I thought the goalkeeper (Greg Fleming) was immense for us, he made a couple of wonderful saves and kept us in the game.
"He is just a young lad, he is only 19 and he is growing in every game.
"We had lost eight goals prior to this game and that could have knocked someone, but he has been really positive in each game and he has not let it get to him."
