Dunfermline manager Neil Lennon: “I thought we were great. It was attritional but we had the better chances. You could tell the pitch and the occasion was getting to both sets of players.
“It’s a hell of an achievement for the club. These players have covered themselves in glory all the way through this and now we have one to go.
“I haven’t told the players the bad news yet – they are in tomorrow for recovery. The one thing about this lot is they can fall off a cliff quickly, but they are talented and it’s so exciting.
“What this will do for them and the city – I’m lost for words.”
Dunfermline goalkeeper Aston Oxborough: “These are moments you dream of. I thought we were comfortable in our shape and it was a brilliant shift from the lads.
“There’s lots to play for. It’s such an exciting time to be at Dunfermline.”
Dunfermline midfielder Matty Todd: “It wasn’t a pretty game, but you could smell the Falkirk team were nervous.
“Ever since the manager has been in the door he’s been wanting us to take us to the top flight – that’s the goal, but days like this don’t come round too often.”
Falkirk manager John McGlynn: “We got here by beating Hearts on penalties, so I don’t believe it’s a lottery. I’d be more concerned by not scoring a goal in 120 minutes.
“We didn’t produce that quality in the final third of the pitch. It didn’t click and that’s frustrating.
“I thought it was scrappy. Balls getting kicked up in the air. Probably a bit of nerves coming in if I’m honest. It’s very frustrating and painful.”
