McGinn said afterwards:  "We've got to keep our heads a wee bit in there and have some perspective. Many teams will come here and suffer that defeat.

"It got loud. Probably as loud as I've heard it as an away player.

"It's about staying positive. Spurs beat us 4-1 last season and we finished above them.

"They punished our mistakes. We had a chance at 2-1 to equalise. The third one was a mistake and then a great free-kick from the fourth."
