We never really got any good shots on goal. We never took them. We played reasonably well ... but it wasn't one of our better games.

[Jukka Santala grabbed a brace to earn Partick Thistle a 2-2 draw after Ayr United had twice gone ahead through Jerome Vareille and Paul Hyslop.] We were by far the best side, ... But Ayr were frustrating to play against.

Colin comes in to solve a goalkeeping problem as Neil Bennett has decided to go back south. My assistant, Jimmy Bone, knows Colin well from his time working with him at County last season. I have admired Mark for some time. He is a good player and has pace.

I give credit to Dow for putting the pressure on us. The last 20 minutes, we just forced everything instead of taking our time.

I hope this result kick starts our season.

We were very close, a lot of years. We worked our way through a lot of problems, and we could've worked our way through this one. We could've made a comeback.
