Draw disappoints Collins

Hibernian manager John Collins was disappointed to only come away from Sunday's game against runaway SPL leaders Celtic with a point.
It was only the third match the Bhoys have failed to win in the SPL this term but, after leading 2-0 midway through the second half, Collins thought his side should have gone on to clinch all three points.
"We've got to go for the win at home, no matter who we're playing," Collins said after the 2-2 draw.
"We started the game really well and took the match to Celtic and that was our game plan, driving forward with the ball and I thought we were terrific in the first half. We deserved to go in 1-0 up at half-time.
"We came out sharp at the start of the second half, and once we got the second goal we probably had a good chance to make it three. We never took the chance though, and Celtic are always going to come into the game at some point.
"McGeady came on and gave them a bit of momentum, and once they got their goal Celtic came forward in droves, but that's why they're top of the league - they never know when they're beaten.
"But I'm disappointed to go two goals up and not win the game. There were lots of positives all the same, terrific performances, some good movement, good football and we're heading in the right direction."
