Wilson expects to feel pride at his first senior winners' medal one day - but at the moment he cannot see past his dismissal.[LNB]Wilson celebrated Kenny Miller's winner against St Mirren in the dressing room with Kevin Thomson after both were sent off in the second half.[LNB]The pair felt they had let their team-mates down and initially did not go out to collect their medals.[LNB]But coach Kenny McDowall took both back out to the Hampden pitch to celebrate the 1-0 victory despite their mixed emotions.[LNB]Wilson told the club website: "Both Kevin and I thought that we couldn't go up to collect our medals after being sent off and if that had been the case it really would have been a sickener.[LNB]"But a few people including Kenny ran into the dressing room and told us to get out and join the rest of the boys.[LNB]"Obviously it was a great feeling to get a medal and when I look back at the game I will be really proud to have played a part in such a fantastic League Cup win.[LNB]"But in the back of my head I can't stop thinking about getting sent off and that emotion is still a bit raw right now."[LNB]The 18-year-old added: "I was delighted to play in the final but you never expect to get sent off.[LNB]"To make matters worse it is the first time I have been shown a red card, even at youth level I have never been sent off."[LNB]Wilson was penalised after pulling back Craig Dargo and he refused to criticise referee Craig Thomson.[LNB]"I was really disappointed, when I turned around to look at the ref I thought he was just going to show me a yellow card," the centre-back said.[LNB]"When I saw the red I was absolutely gutted but I have looked back at it on TV and I can understand why he sent me off.[LNB]"At the time I thought that Davie (Weir) was coming across but seeing it again I was perhaps the last man.[LNB]"I watched the rest of the game in the dressing room and the boys were absolutely fantastic.[LNB]"To win it the way they did was great and it says so much about the squad of players we have at the club right now."[LNB]Wilson added: "When I was sent off I felt that I had let everyone down. Myself and Kevin Thomson were just sitting there stunned more than anything else.[LNB]"But when the goal went in we just started jumping up and down.[LNB]"We were both delighted and probably relieved at the same time.[LNB]"It was a strange emotion seeing the boys celebrating the goal and not being on the pitch but I am just happy that we won."[LNB][LNB] Dundee Utd v Rangers.
