Kilmarnock striker Paul Di Giacomo has accepted that his side failed to rise to the occasion as they were thrashed 5-1 in the CIS Insurance Cup final by Hibernian.
Killie had hoped to win their first silverware for a decade, but were swept aside at Hampden Park on Sunday.
He told the Daily Record: "We're all gutted. Fair play to Hibs, they played well and thoroughly deserved to win.
"We have no complaints from that point of view, just complaints that maybe we let ourselves down.
"But you learn from these things and, if we get to another final, I'm pretty sure we'll put on a better performance.
"The manager said on the first day of pre-season that all he wanted was top six and a good cup run.
"We've managed that and will bounce back and battle on. We'll play for pride and might sneak into Europe."
