John McNeil, head of women’s football at Queen’s Park: “It’s tough. I feel for the girls. I thought for the first 70 minutes we were the better team and we were dominating.

“They came out in the second half, but it was cruel. Two chances and two goals.

“It was a really difficult week, we did a session together but the girls resisted, they were excellent.”

Suzy Shepherd, Dundee United head coach: “In the second half it was all about character. I think the girls deserved their three points.

“There was confidence among them and I am very proud of them for achieving the first victory in the league.”
