Gretna manager Davie Irons felt his side had deserved a point for their efforts in their 4-2 defeat by Hibernian at Easter Road.
The rock-bottom Borderers fought back from 3-0 down to get within a goal of their hosts, before a last-minute penalty killed them off.
Irons commented: "I don't think it would have been unfair, to be honest, if we'd got a point.
"I thought we played well, with a group of young lads who are playing together for only the second time.
"I thought their attitude and willingness to get at Hibs was first-class and I'm proud of them.
"People will say Hibs switched off, but we had chances and maybe deserved a wee bit more than we got."
