Quotation Marks.png

MATCHDAY QUOTES

“There have been times this season when I've had good reason to suppose that the players have had Europe on their minds.

“There were times [against Dynamo] when we played our best football of the' season.

“It was 30 per cent better than in the League - and I'm hoping that on Saturday we can carry on where we left off against Dynamo."

Ron Saunders.
