Kilmarnock manager Jim Jefferies hailed his injury-ravaged side as they battled to a 3-3 draw against rock-bottom Gretna at Rugby Park on Saturday.
Killie were forced to come from behind three times to rescue a point from the match, and Jefferies was delighted to end his side's recent losing run.
He said: "We had four defenders out injured and were forced into playing youngsters and guys out of position, so all credit to them for the effort they put into the game.
"This proves that despite our recent bad run the players' heads aren't going down.
"The pleasing thing for me about this game was that we stopped the rot."
