Dunfermline manager Neil Lennon:<\/b> “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.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
“What this will do for them and the city – I’m lost for words.”<\/p>\n
Dunfermline goalkeeper Aston Oxborough: <\/b>“These are moments you dream of. I thought we were comfortable in our shape and it was a brilliant shift from the lads.<\/p>\n
“There’s lots to play for. It’s such an exciting time to be at Dunfermline.”<\/p>\n
Dunfermline midfielder Matty Todd:<\/b> “It wasn’t a pretty game, but you could smell the Falkirk team were nervous.<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n
Falkirk manager John McGlynn:<\/b> “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. <\/p>\n
“We didn’t produce that quality in the final third of the pitch. It didn’t click and that’s frustrating.<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
